2025 Fantasy Outlook
Langeliers was the Athletics' bell cow catcher for the second straight season. His 137 games and 534 plate appearances were both career highs, while his 131 appearances behind the plate were second most in MLB. Fewer strikeouts and more plate appearances from hitting higher in the order fueled personal bests in homers, runs and RBI. He features above average, but not elite quality of contact, but even with the improvement, his strikeout rate is high. Despite poor defense, the Athletics are committed to Langeliers with no one in the pipeline to challenge him for playing time. His power will play anywhere, though Langeliers could benefit from leaving the Coliseum. Just 27 years old, he could continue to improve his strikeout rate, but is best considered a plus power, low average backstop hitting in the meat of a less potent lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IL with oblique strain
The Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
Langeliers was removed in the middle of his at-bat in the sixth inning of Thursday's game against the Twins after tweaking his oblique. He'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but the 27-year-old catcher could be facing a lengthy stint on the IL. The Athletics will turn to Willie MacIver and Jhonny Pereda to serve behind home plate for as long as Langeliers is on the shelf.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Langeliers opened the season as the Athletics primary catcher. He gathered a taste of the majors down the stretch in 2022 but struggled making contact. In his first full season, Langeliers lowered his strikeout rate to a still elevated 29.2 percent while hitting the ball with more authority. However, as a fly ball hitter in the cavernous Coliseum, Langeliers' BABIP was well below average, but his 22 homers was fifth most among catcher-eligible hitters and his 63 RBI tied for 12th highest. Langeliers is still a work in progress behind the plate as his -13 defensive runs saved was the third worst in the league and he graded as one of the poorest pitch framers. Langeliers' 31 percent success rate catching base stealers was one of the best marks in the league. Langeliers will share catching duties with Tyler Soderstrom, with Langeliers likely to get the heavier workload. The volume will generate mixed league worthy counting stats, but Langeliers is a batting average liability.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Cubs?
Langeliers could be an offseason trade target for the Cubs, reports Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Chicago was unable to land a catching upgrade at the summer deadline, and that will be a priority for GM Jed Hoyer during the offseason. Langeliers is hitting just. 226 through 100 games this season, but he's clubbed 22 homers and has a .754 OPS. The 26-year-old is a slightly below-average defender, but he's in only his third MLB season and has plenty of upside beyond his current form. Langeliers won't have his first year of arbitration eligibility until 2026, so the Athletics likely won't be eager to trade a cost-controlled backstop.
