Wynns is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Wynns had been splitting playing time at catcher with Willie MacIver for the past three weeks while Shea Langeliers (oblique) was on the injured list, but Wynns' modest role is likely to become even smaller after the Athletics activated Langeliers on Monday. Though he ended up sticking on the 26-man active roster over MacIver -- who was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas -- Wynns is likely to make just one or two starts per week now that Langeliers is back with the big club.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics released a lineup earlier Sunday that featured Wynns at catcher, but Willie MacIver will instead get the nod behind the plate for the series finale. The team hasn't indicated that Wynns' removal from the lineup was the result of any injury or illness, so the veteran backstop is presumably just getting a breather. The duo have alternated starts at catcher over the last eight games, but with Shea Langeliers (oblique) likely to return from the injured list during the upcoming week, Wynns could lose his spot on the roster.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Wynns had started behind the dish in the first two games of the series and went 1-for-8 with a double and an RBI, but he'll take a seat for the finale while Willie MacIver receives the nod at catcher. Since being acquired by the Athletics on June 8, Wynns has slashed .179/.207/.464 with two home runs and six RBI.

Wynns went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran catcher turned on a Michael Wacha two-seamer in the second inning, giving Wynns his fourth long ball of the season and his first as a member of the A's. He came into 2025 with a career OPS of .642 and a career high of just four homers, but the 34-year-old now sports a stunning .354/.404/.667 slash line in 52 plate appearances this season between the Reds and A's. Wynns has been alternating starts with Willie MacIver over the last four games, an arrangement that could continue while Shea Langeliers (oblique) remains sidelined.

The Athletics acquired Wynns from the Reds on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday but will remain on a 40-man roster with the A's. Wynns has a 1.142 OPS with three homers in 18 big-league games this season and will provide the Athletics with some veteran catching depth.

The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wynns had been serving as a depth piece since Tyler Stephenson was activated from the injured list May 2, and he hasn't had multiple at-bats in a game since May 6. He'll yield his spot on the active roster to Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back), who's being activated from 10-day injured list.
