Athletics activate C Shea Langeliers from the 10-day injured list

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Shea Langeliers is back with the Athletics after the veteran catcher was sidelined for 3 1/2 weeks with a strained left oblique. Langeliers was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He was in the starting lineup for the opener of a three-game series at Tampa Bay. The A's also brought up right-hander Justin Sterner and outfielder Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas. Outfielder JJ Bleday, catcher Willie MacIver and right-hander Tyler Ferguson were sent down. The 27-year-old Langeliers got hurt when he fouled off a pitch from Minnesota's Kody Funderburk on June 5. He went 8 for 13 with a homer and four RBIs in three rehab games with Las Vegas. Langeliers, a first-round pick in the 2019 amateur draft, is batting .237 with 10 homers and 27 RBIs in 56 games with the A's. ___ AP MLB:

Ginn struck out the side in the eighth and Mason Miller (1-2) added two strikeouts in the ninth. Starter Mitch Spence allowed seven hits and one earned run in five innings.

Altuve homered in the first and JJ Bleday went deep to tie the score 1-1 for the Athletics in the fifth. Key moment The Athletics appeared to have runners on second and third with two outs in the eighth following Tyler Soderstrom's hit. However, an official review showed Jeremy Peña tagged Soderstrom when he came off the bag. Key stat Abreu had a string of 16 straight scoreless outings come to an end. Abreu has only allowed runs in three of his 32 appearances. Up next Athletics LHP JP Sears (5-5, 5.08) is scheduled to start on Tuesday. The Astros have not named a starter. ___ AP MLB:
