Shea Langeliers sitting for Athletics on Thursday
Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Thursday night's series opener against right-hander Dylan Cease and the Chicago White Sox.
The Athletics appear to be giving Langeliers a breather after seven straight starts. Sean Murphy will catch for JP Sears and Stephen Vogt will work as the designated hitter. Dermis Garcia will start on first base and bat seventh.
Garcia has a $2,600 salary on Thursday and our models project him for 7.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics' implied total (2.98) is second-lowest out of the 12 active teams today and the park factor for the game is the weakest of the day for batters.
