Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers, a top MLB trade candidate, suffered a torn meniscus that could force him to miss the rest of the season.
Impact on the Team
The 28-year-old hurt his knee while running on the basepaths, and now he and the team are deliberating over whether he should undergo surgery to repair the tear in the knee.
Langeliers has been the team’s top player, representing them at his first-ever All-Star Game earlier this month. He was on pace to break some more career highs, but this injury puts a damper on it all.
The A’s will have to go with Jonah Heim moving forward with Langeliers sidelined, and he himself has been among trade conversations as well due to his veteran prowess.
