• Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Connects for three-run shot in loss

  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday. Langeliers erased a 4-3 deficit in the ninth inning via a two-out, 357-foot shot off Collin Snider with Max Schuemann and JJ Bleday aboard to give the Athletics a temporary 6-4 lead. It was the slugging backstop's first homer in eight games and put him at 29 for the season, while also pushing his September RBI total to an impressive 16 over 23 contests. It's been a season of across-the-board improvement for Langeliers at the plate, and all three components of his .224/.288/.450 slash line heading into the final day of the regular season qualify as career bests.

• Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Launches pinch-hit homer

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Langeliers entered Sunday's loss to the White Sox in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and hit a solo home run in his only at-bat. Langeliers had ceded catching duties to Kyle McCann to open the day, yet he was able to come through off the bench with his 26th homer of the season. The round tripper got the Athletics to within one run, but the rally stagnated at that point. Langeliers snapped a 10-game extra-base-hit drought with the timely blast, as well as a brief 0-for-13 skid that had encompassed his last three games.
