A's Langeliers and Leiter Head to Surgery, Likely Ending Their Seasons

Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers will undergo knee surgery to repair a right meniscus tear, and reliever Mark Leiter Jr. will have hip surgery, with recovery timelines not announced and both likely to miss the rest of the year. Langeliers has 23 homers and a .263/.332/.497 line in 416 plate appearances, while Leiter posted a 4.28 ERA over 33 2/3 innings and remains a free agent after the season; both could be moved to the 60-day injured list to clear roster spots.

Athletics Lose Two to Injuries as Leiter Jr. and Kuroda-Grauer Hit the IL

Oakland placed right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day IL with a right hip impingement and infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer on the 10-day IL after surgery for a ruptured testicle; Hayden Juenger and Max Muncy were recalled. Leiter has shown strong underlying numbers but a mediocre 4.17 ERA over several years, and the A’s sit 8.5 games out of a playoff spot as the deadline nears, limiting his trade value. Kuroda-Grauer’s injury is more severe with an unclear recovery time.
