Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Moves to 10-day IL
The Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The transaction is hardly a surprise after Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reported earlier Sunday that that the injury could keep the catcher out for the remainder of the season. The Athletics have yet to reveal if Langeliers will undergo surgery, but in the likely event he does, his 2026 campaign would come to an early end. Brian Serven was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Langeliers' place on the 26-man active roster, while Jonah Heim is poised to step in as the Athletics' primary backstop.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Could miss rest of 2026
Langeliers was diagnosed Sunday with a torn meniscus in his right knee and may miss the rest of the 2026 season, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The 28-year-old sustained the injury while running the bases and will be out for the foreseeable future. If surgery is necessary to address the injury -- which appears likely -- Langeliers will miss the rest of the campaign. The torn meniscus is an unfortunate development for the backstop, who was a first-time All-Star this season after clubbing 23 home runs with a .263/.332/.497 slash line through 93 games.

Royals' Salvador Perez: New Royals home run leader
Perez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Starting to throw, but not catch
Rutschman (wrist) threw on the field at Camden Yards on Saturday, but has yet to resumed catching the ball, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rutschman has had an injury-riddled 2026 season after hitting the injured list for the third time on Monday. He dealt with a concussion and an ankle injury earlier in the campaign but is currently managing left wrist inflammation, which is preventing him from catching. The 28-year-old is eligible to come off the IL on Wednesday, but he'll need to make significant progress over the next couple days to have a chance of returning so soon.

White Sox's Drew Romo: Idle Saturday
Romo is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.
