Shea Langeliers Getting A Breather In Day Game
7 months agoOakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers will get the day off on Thursday in the series finale against the division-rival Texas Rangers in a matinee contest. With Langeliers on the bench, Kyle McCann will catch left-hander JP Sears and hit in the nine-hole against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. All three of Langeliers' hits in this series against the Rangers were home runs on Tuesday as he single-handedly helped the A's defeat the reigning World Series champions on the road that day. The 26-year-old backstop has four long balls on the year already and seven RBI, but otherwise he's hitting just .222 (8-for-36) with two walks and 11 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances. McCann is searching for his first big-league hit and should be avoided in DFS.
