Should he opt for surgery, he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
The Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Sunday -- retroactive to Saturday -- and recalled fellow catcher Brian Serven from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Backup Jonah Heim, a former All-Star, is expected to receive the bulk of the work in Langeliers' absence.
Langeliers, 28, is batting .263 with 23 homers and 51 RBIs in 93 games this season. He leads American League catchers in homers and hits (99).
He is hitting .240 with 111 homers and 288 RBIs since being selected by the Atlanta Braves with the ninth overall pick of the 2019 MLB Draft. He was acquired from the Braves in the Matt Olson trade on March 14, 2022.
Serven, 31, is batting .308 with nine homers and 46 RBIs in 61 games with the Aviators this season.
With the Athletics, he has appeared in two games on the season with a .250 average (1-for-4). against the Miami Marlins on July 5.
