Multi-hit effort in loss Langeliers went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

Impact The rookie's third-inning two-bagger plated Stephen Vogt to snap a 3-3 tie. Langeliers has been enjoying regular playing time behind the dish and at designated hitter but is still struggling to make consistent contact against big-league arms -- he's struck out at a massive 41.4 percent clip over 16 games during the month, and Thursday's multi-hit effort was his first since Sept. 1.

Three hits Sunday Langeliers went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Impact Langeliers got the start at catcher Sunday and made the most of it with the first multi-hit game of his young career. The rookie is now slashing .316/.300/.737 since being called up on Aug. 16. It has not been all great for the rookie, however, as with another strikeout Sunday, he has struck out in each of the five games he has started and failed to record a walk, leading to his average being higher than his on base percentage.

Sitting Saturday Langeliers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

Impact He has played pretty regularly since getting the call earlier this week, primarily as the designated hitter. Langeliers is 3-for-15, with all three of his hits going for extra bases (two doubles, one home run). He has struck out eight times in 16 plate appearances. Stephen Vogt slots in at designated hitter while batting cleanup.

Plays first game behind dish Langeliers drew his first big-league start at catcher in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a double and a run.

Impact The rookie backstop also threw out Marcus Semien on an attempted steal of second base in the first inning and had three assists overall in the first three frames, as per the Associated Press. Langeliers has gotten off to a hot start against big-league arms, with all three hits over his first three games going for extra bases in the form of a pair of two-baggers and a home run.

Launches first career home run Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Langliers crushed an 0-2 curveball over the right field fence in the eighth inning for his first career home run. The rookie now has extra-base hits in each of his two starts this season as he has picked up right where he left off in Triple-A where he maintained a .510 slugging percentage. Oakland currently have one of the best hitting catchers in the majors in Sean Murphy, so Langliers figures to continue hitting as the DH or find his way into the lineup on Murphy's off days.

Hits double in debut Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Langeliers was able to get a few milestones checked off in his big-league debut, including his first hit and first run. Despite three strikeouts Tuesday, the 24-year-old shouldn't struggle with contact -- he struck out at a 21.9 percent clip while slashing .283/.366/.510 with 19 home runs, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and five stolen bases with Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up. The catcher prospect is a solid defender and should get a long audition for an everyday role, sharing time with current No. 1 catcher Sean Murphy behind the dish and at designated hitter for the remainder of the season.

Arrives in big leagues The Athletics selected Langeliers' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Just one week ago, general manager David Forst suggested that Langeliers was on track to receive a promotion to the big leagues before season's end, and now Oakland has made the move official. Regarded as a solid defender behind the plate, Langeliers should be part of a timeshare at catcher and designated hitter with Sean Murphy that will allow both players to handle near-everyday roles. Prior to getting promoted, Langeliers was in the midst of a big offensive season at Las Vegas, slashing .283/.366/.510 with 19 home runs and five stolen bases across 402 plate appearances. The 24-year-old looks worthy of a flier in just about any league, even in shallower formats that start just one catcher.
