Langeliers Starts Rehab Assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas
The A's All-Star catcher played his first game since July 24, logging three plate appearances as DH with an eye toward rejoining the big league club.
Shea Langeliers made his return to game action Tuesday in a Triple-A rehab start, going 2-for-3 with a double as the designated hitter. He has been sidelined since July 24 following meniscus surgery on his right knee. The Athletics plan to use him exclusively as DH upon his return, avoiding the physical demands of catching. He could join the team on their final road trip next week if his recovery continues on track.
