What happened to Shea Langeliers? Live injury updates for Twins vs. Athletics Thursday 6/5/25

UPDATE: Langeliers has been placed on the 10-day IL with an oblique issue.

In the bottom of the sixth inning of Thursday’s game against the Twins, Shea Langeliers injured his oblique after fouling off a pitch.

Logan Davidson pinch hit for Langeliers mid at-bat.

Langeliers was DH’ing on Thursday while Willie MacIver was catching. Oblique injuries can last from a few days to months, so MacIver could find himself in a prominent role going forward. Prior to Thursday, MacIver received nine plate appearances, contributing a run, RBI and a stolen base. During his minor league career, the plate discipline had been good, with the walk rate above 10% on the regular. The strikeout rate was in the mid-20% range while the ISO was in the .150 area. Granted, most of that time was with Colorado. In 147 plate appearances with Oakland’s Triple-A team last season, MacIver had a 12.2% walk rate, 18.4% strikeout rate and .159 while slashing .389/.469/.548. It was fueled by a .480 BABIP.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
