Shea Langeliers Out for Season With Torn Meniscus
The A's All-Star catcher is headed for surgery, ending a strong campaign in which he hit .263 with 23 home runs and 51 RBIs.
Shea Langeliers, the first A's catcher to start an All-Star Game since Terry Steinbach in 1989, will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee. He appeared in 93 games this season, batting .263 with 23 homers and 51 RBIs before the injury. The 28-year-old had also been the subject of trade rumors amid another difficult season for Oakland. His loss is a significant blow to the A's lineup for the remainder of the year.
