Overview

• Shea Langeliers was placed on the A’s 10-day injured list on June 6 after exiting a game June 5 with a strained left oblique and now faces a multi-week recovery.
• Manager Mark Kotsay noted oblique injuries can vary widely but projected Langeliers will be out “at least a few weeks” based on comparable cases.
• Miguel Andujar suffered a Grade 2 right oblique strain earlier this week and is expected to miss four to six weeks, marking the second key bat lost.
• Willie MacIver, who hit .389 with a 1.017 OPS in Triple-A this season, is anticipated to start the majority of games behind the plate.
• Jhonny Pereda was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas after batting .346 over his last seven minor-league contests to bolster the catching corps.
