Shea Langeliers out for season with torn meniscus, affecting trade plans

Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers has suffered a torn meniscus in his knee and could miss the remainder of the 2026 season. This injury comes as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches on August 3, eliminating Langeliers from trade considerations. The 28-year-old catcher, who has hit 23 home runs this season, sustained the injury on the basepaths and is expected to decide on surgery soon. In response, the Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list and recalled catcher Brian Serven. The injury creates increased demand for other catchers on the trade market.
