New at ESPN: All-Star catcher Shea Langeliers has a torn meniscus in his knee and could miss the remainder of the year, Via @JeffPassan on X

What happened: Jeff Passan says Langeliers injured his knee. He had been available in deadline discussions before the diagnosis.

Why it matters: His absence removes one of the season’s most productive catching bats from the lineup during the stretch run. A club already enduring a difficult season must now redistribute the workload behind the plate.

By the numbers: Langeliers is batting .263 with 23 home runs, 51 RBIs and an .829 OPS in 376 at-bats this season.

What to watch: The next update should clarify treatment and whether a 2026 return remains possible.
