A's Place Shea Langeliers on Paternity List on Monday
The Athletics announced on Monday that they placed catcher Shea Langeliers on the paternity list. The team also acquired catcher Jonah Heim from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations. Langeliers didn't play on Sunday and will now be away from the team for an additional one ot three days while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Heim, who made his major-league debut with the A's in 2020, will give the club some additional catching depth for the next couple of days with Langeliers away from the team. Austin Wynns is the other backstop currently on the team's big-league roster. The 28-year-old Langeliers has been money for his fantasy managers so far in 2026 in his fifth year in the majors. He currently leads baseball with 45 hits and is slashing a strong .336/.390/.627 with a 1.017 OPS, 10 home runs, 18 RBI, and 24 runs scored in 146 plate appearances across 32 games played. Langeliers broke out with a career-high 31 round-trippers in 123 games played in 2025, and he's a must-start catcher in traditional fantasy leagues when he's active.
