Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers out for season with torn meniscus
Shea Langeliers, the Athletics’ premier catcher, suffered a meniscus tear during a routine drill. The injury was confirmed as a full‑thickness tear in his right knee, sidelining him for the balance of the 2026 season.
Langeliers, a three‑time All‑Star, had been slated to anchor the battery behind pitcher Paul Blackburn. Oakland will rely on backup catchers while Langeliers focuses on rehabilitation.
