Wyatt Langford was scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Blue Jays with left hamstring tightness.
It’s not an ideal development. Langford has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since returning from the injured list earlier this month, hitting .317 (26-for-82) with seven homers, 16 RBI and three steals over 20 games since June 5. The hope for the Rangers and fantasy managers is that the decision was made out of an abundance of caution. He’s likely to undergo further evaluation and possibly imaging to determine whether a trip to the injured list will be necessary. An update on his status should arrive before the end of the weekend.
