Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers was probably overdue for a day off, as he had started at catcher or served as a designated hitter in each of Oakland's last five games. Kyle McCann will get a turn behind the plate in Sunday's series finale.

Langeliers went 3-for-5 with a triple, a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers' 420-foot shot to left center with Kyle McCann and Lawrence Butler aboard in the eighth inning certainly wasn't necessary for the red-hot Athletics' victory, but it still had a bit of extra significance since it pushed Oakland's tally to 20 runs on the afternoon. Langeliers needed a prolific effort at the plate like Saturday's in the worst way, considering he'd come into the day with a .165/.222/.381 slash line. The three-bagger was also Langeliers' first of the season after he legged out four triples a year ago, and despite his significant struggles with batting average and on-base percentage, he's now knocked 11 of his 19 hits on the season for extra bases.

Langeliers went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a double and a walk in a win over the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The struggling backstop experienced a rare taste of offensive success in Oakland's fourth win in the last five games. Langeliers is still sitting on a forgettable .172 average and .227 on-base percentage across 97 plate appearances. However, eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases and he has an acceptable 21.6 percent strikeout rate, offering some support for the notion that he'll be due for a turnaround once his atypically low .143 BABIP sees a boost.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers had caught each of Oakland's last six games, so his absence from the lineup for the series finale is likely just a routine maintenance day. Kyle McCann checks in behind the dish and will bat ninth for Oakland.

Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Marcus Stroman left a breaking ball up in the strike zone in the second inning, and Langeliers launched it 414 feet to right-center field. It was the catcher's first long ball since his three-homer performance April 9 against the Rangers -- in the 11 games between those power displays, he went just 3-for-33 (.091) with a double as his only extra-base hit. On the season, Langeliers is slashing .174/.234/.406 through 77 plate appearances with five home runs and 11 RBI.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers will get some routine maintenance in the day game after he caught both of the first two contests of the series in Arlington while going 3-for-8 with three home runs and four RBI. Kyle McCann checks in behind the plate, catching for starting pitcher JP Sears.

Langeliers went 3-for-4 with three homers and four RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers put together a night to remembe, taking Nathan Eovaldi yard in the second inning before blasts in the seventh and ninth off relievers David Robertson and Jose Leclerc, respectively. It was Langeliers' first-career three-homer performance and just the third time he's ever hit multiple home runs. Langeliers came into Tuesday with just five hits on the season and is now up to a .250 average with four long balls and seven RBI.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Langeliers had started behind the plate in each of Oakland's last three games and slugged his first home run of the season Tuesday, so he'll presumably just be getting a breather Wednesday in a day game after a night game. Kyle McCann will handle the catching duties for the Athletics in the series finale.

Langeliers went 3-for-6 with a hit-by-pitch and a sacrifice fly over his last two games against the Guardians on Friday and Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The starting catcher started the season with an 0-for-3 showing on Opening Day before rapping out a pair of singles Friday, then getting on base two more times via another hit and the plunking Sunday in his return from a day off. Langeliers flashed some promising power a season ago with 22 home runs and 45 extra-base hits overall, and he also managed to lace seven (four doubles, one triple, two homers) of his 11 Cactus League hits for extra bases this spring.
