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.
