MacIver is expected to have an expanded role at catcher while Shea Langeliers (oblique) is sidelined, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
MacIver was called up to the majors May 23 after dominating at Triple-A, where he slashed .389/.469/.548 with 30 RBI. Since debuting May 25, the 28-year-old has batted .227/.261/.273 with two RBI over seven games and 22 at-bats. With Shea Langeliers out due to an oblique strain, the Athletics appear likely to give MacIver a chance to prove himself over Jhonny Pereda for the time being.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More looks after Langeliers injury?
CSacramento Athletics
June 6, 2025
MacIver looks to be the Athletics' top option at catcher after Shea Langeliers was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
MacIver was promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas to the majors May 23 and made his first major-league start against the Phillies two days later. He's made three starts since his promotion, but with Langeliers potentially facing a lengthy stint on the IL, MacIver should get plenty of work as the A's top catcher while Jhonny Pereda serves as the backup. Prior to his call-up, MacIver had a blistering .393/.472/.557 slash line with two steals, two home runs and 30 RBI across 142 plate appearances in Triple-A.
