A's Reinstate Shea Langeliers From Injured List
Shea Langeliers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned catcher Willie MacIver to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Langeliers will return as the team's starting backstop after missing over three weeks with a strained left oblique. The 27-year-old right-handed-hitting catcher went 8-for-13 with a home run in just three minor-league rehab games with Vegas and will be hoping to keep that hot hitting going when he returns to the A's lineup. Fantasy managers should expect him to start right away in Monday's series opener against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Langeliers swings and misses too much to be a batting-average asset in fantasy, but he has above-average at the weak catching position and is already in double digits in homers with 10 in 207 at-bats.
