Austin

Wynns

Wynns provides Texas with some emergency catching depth at Triple-A Round Rock behind Kyle Higashioka and Elias Díaz. The well-traveled 35-year-old backstop went 4-for-53 at the dish during a 20-game run with the Braves earlier this season.

Wynns heads out to the open market to see if there’s another club in need of emergency catching depth. The 35-year-old journeyman backstop went 4-for-53 during a 20-game stint with the Braves. He’s merely a temporary stopgap for injury-plagued clubs at this stage of his career.

Wynns loses his spot on Atlanta’s roster with starting catcher Drake Baldwin back from the injured list. The 35-year-old journeyman went 4-for-53 across 20 games for the Braves after being brought up earlier this month.

Wynns had been released by the Athletics in the middle of May and then signed a minor league contract with the Angels. He will now head to the Braves, where he will join the active roster, presumably until Drake Baldwin returns in a few weeks. The 35-year-old had gone 3-for-39 with the Athletics earlier in the year.

Wynn was designated for assignment by the Athletics last week and went through waivers unclaimed. He was just 3-for-39 to start the season and will look for a fresh start with a new organization.

Wynns has been cut loose after passing through waivers unclaimed. The Athletics are going to roll with Shea Langeliers and Jonah Heim as their catching tandem moving forward.

Wynns had to know he was losing his spot when the A’s acquired Jonah Heim, but he stuck around for a few extra days with Shea Langeliers going on the paternity list. Now that Langeliers is back, Wynns is gone. The 35-year-old was off to a 3-for-39 start at the plate this year, giving him a .077/.143/.077 line.

Langeliers launches two homers on his wife’s birthday on Saturday before she gave birth to their first child on Sunday morning. The 28-year-old slugging backstop is going to take some time away from the club to be with his family for the next couple days while Austin Wynns and newly acquired Jonah Heim handle the catching duties.

The Athletics are undoubtedly very familiar with Heim’s work since he began his career with the club before becoming the starting backstop for the division-rival Rangers. The 30-year-old heads out to West Sacramento after being removed from Atlanta’s 40-man roster earlier on Monday. He’ll provide the Athletics with some additional depth behind Austin Wynns while Shea Langeliers is away on paternity leave for a couple days this week.

He hasn’t played since being removed from Tuesday’s game in what Mark Kotsay said was “precautionary.” Colby Thomas is batting cleanup against LHP Noah Cameron. Brent Rooker (0-for-13 since returning from an oblique injury) is also sitting today, giving Shea Langeliers a DH day while Austin Wynns draws a start.
