Shea Langeliers Called Up By A's

The Oakland Athletics have promoted catching prospect Shea Langeliers from the minors on Tuesday. The team's top prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, Langeliers was hitting .283/.366/.510 with an .876 OPS, 19 home runs, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and five stolen bases in 402 plate appearances and 92 games for Triple-A Las Vegas before his first big-league call-up. The 24-year-old backstop should play regularly down the stretch for the out-of-contention A's, with Sean Murphy seeing more time as the designated hitter. Because of his offensive upside at the weak catching position in fantasy baseball, Langeliers is worth picking up in most leagues.

Shea Langeliers Expected To Be Promoted This Year

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said that catching prospect Shea Langeliers is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas before the end of the season. Langeliers is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he's currently hitting .281/.362/.513 with an .876 OPS, 19 home runs, 53 RBI, 57 runs scored and five stolen bases in 381 plate appearances and 87 games at Las Vegas. In a lost season, it makes sense for the A's to give the 24-year-old a taste of major league pitching to close out the year. Oakland also has Sean Murphy at the position at the big-league level, but he's a candidate to be traded in the offseason if they believe Langeliers is ready for a full-time role in 2023. When Langeliers is called up, he's worth a roster spot in deeper leagues.

Sean Murphy Goes Deep Wednesday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy remained with the club past the trade deadline, and he rewarded that decision by going deep off Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani in a 3-1 victory. He went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the game. Murphy now has a .757 OPS with 13 homers this year, but given that he is likely the best remaining player on the roster, he doesn't figure to have much opportunity for counting stats going forward and remains a borderline fantasy option behind the plate.

Guardians Have Discussed Sean Murphy

The Cleveland Guardians and Oakland Athletics have discussed catcher Sean Murphy, according to sources. However, the talks hadn't gained much traction as of Sunday morning. The A's can hang onto Murphy, who is under team control for another three and a half years, until the offseason and deal him in a much better market. Oakland has highly regarded prospect Shea Langeliers waiting at Triple-A. Cleveland needs an offensive jolt at catcher, and Murphy is an above-average hitter and a Gold Glove winner. The A's could use outfield and high-end starting pitching prospects, but the Guardians might be more inclined to tap into their surplus of middle-infield prospects. Murphy is currently hitting .238/.314/.423 with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 43 runs scored and a stolen base in 336 at-bats for the A's.

Sean Murphy Not Starting On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Houston Astros and right-handed starter Cristian Javier. Murphy has been one of Oakland's best position players so far this season, batting .244 with a .322 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and a stolen base in 368 plate appearances. Instead, the A's will start Stephen Vogt behind the plate against Javier and the Astros. The veteran is hitting sixth on Wednesday. For the season, Vogt is batting .46 with a .215 on-base percentage and four home runs in 93 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Athletics' Sean Murphy Drawing Trade Interest

The rebuilding A’s are getting plenty of interest in catcher Sean Murphy, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic writes in his latest notes column. A deal isn’t necessarily likely, given the 27-year-old’s three remaining seasons of club control beyond the current campaign, but Oakland does have a pair of highly touted catchers progressing through the minors…

Sean Murphy Blasts 10th Homer

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy blasted his 10th homer of the season on Thursday, helping his club defeat the Tigers 5-0. Murphy broke a 0-0 tie in the sixth inning by crushing a 447' three-run bomb off starter Garrett Hill in the second game of a doubleheader. The 27-year-old was beginning to heat up prior to the All-Star break with eight hits in his previous five games, giving him a .239/.309/.414 slash line through 85 games. Murphy's 39 RBI and 37 runs are providing enough value in roto formats to keep him fantasy relevant, however, so you could do much worse at the thin catching position.
