Veteran catcher Austin Wynns was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday after catcher Shea Langeliers was reinstated from the paternity list.
The A's will retain catcher Jonah Heim, who was acquired from the Atlanta Braves on Monday when Langeliers went on the paternity list.
Wynns, 34, was batting just .077 (3-for-39) over his first 14 games of the season. He is a career .231 hitter with 19 home runs and 84 RBIS in 292 games with six different clubs over parts of eight seasons.
Langeliers, 28, is batting .336 with 10 home runs and 18 RBIs in 32 games this season. He is a career .242 hitter with 98 home runs and 255 RBIs in 467 games, all with the A's over the past five seasons.
Heim, 30, went hitless in four at-bats on Wednesday in his game for the Athletics. He has a .225 average with 69 homers and 290 RBIs in 620 games over seven seasons. This is his second stint with the Athletics. He was an All-Star in 2023 when the Texas Rangers won the World Series.
