Part of timeshare at catcher MacIver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact After initially getting most of the starts behind the plate following Shea Langeliers' (oblique) placement on the injured list June 6, MacIver appears to have moved into a timeshare with Austin Wynns. The two backstops have now made three starts apiece over the Athletics' last six games.

Getting regular run behind plate MacIver will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact MacIver will pick up his fifth start in seven games and looks poised to operate as the Athletics' primary backstop until Shea Langeliers (oblique) is cleared to return from the injured list. Since getting his first MLB call-up May 23, MacIver has gone 5-for-24 (.208 average) with a 1:7 BB:K, one double, one stolen base, two runs and two RBI through eight big-league games.

In line for more playing time MacIver is expected to fill in at catcher while Shea Langeliers (oblique) is sidelined, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact MacIver was called up to the majors May 23 after dominating at Triple-A, where he slashed .389/.469/.548 with 30 RBI. Since debuting May 25, the 28-year-old has batted .227/.261/.273 with two RBI over seven games and 22 at-bats. With Shea Langeliers out due to an oblique strain, the Athletics appear likely to give MacIver a chance to prove himself over Jhonny Pereda for the time being.

Impact MacIver finished the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque, but he opened the current season in the ACL while he works his way back from a significant right shoulder injury. The 26-year-old has performed well at the dish thus far in the ACL and should gradually move up the minor-league ladder before settling at Albuquerque or Double-A Hartford.
