Wyatt

Langford

Langford’s home run was his second. He hit a solo shot off Joey Cantillo in the fourth inning. Langford returned from the injured list on Friday after spending six weeks on the injured list with a forearm strain. He’ll occupy the leadoff spot for the Rangers for the foreseeable future.

Langford finished 1-for-4 in his return from the injured list following a six-week absence recovering from a forearm strain. The 24-year-old power/speed combo threat was thrown into the leadoff spot for Friday’s series opener at Globe Life Field and should continue hitting near the top of the lineup until further notice.

The dynamic 24-year-old outfielder had been shelved since late April due to a forearm strain. Before landing on the injured list, Langford was hitting just .238/.274/.363 with one homer, four RBI, three stolen bases and a 19/4 K/BB ratio across 84 plate appearances in his first 20 games.

The 23-year-old outfielder held his own during his time with the big league club, slashing a respectable .253/.376/.275 with zero homers, nine RBI and four stolen bases in 110 plate appearances with the Rangers. His demotion likely means that Wyatt Langford will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest.

Langford got four more at-bats under his belt during his latest rehab contest and appears poised to rejoin Texas’ lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Guardians. He’s been on the shelf working his way back from a forearm strain since late April.

Langford also walked twice in the contest. He played seven innings in left field. The 24-year-old is working his way back from a forearm strain that put him on the shelf back in late April. He figures to be ready to return to the majors at some point later this week.

Langford made it through Friday’s on-field batting practice session without any issues and will progress to minor league game action this weekend. The 24-year-old fantasy standout figures to rejoin the Rangers’ lineup at some point in early June. He’s been on the shelf recovering from a forearm strain since late April.

It was Langford’s first time taking on-field batting practice since hitting the injured list with a right forearm strain back in late April. There’s optimism he’ll progresses to facing live pitching on Friday before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point in early June.

Langford is hopeful that he’ll be able to take live batting practice before Friday’s game, and there’s a chance the outfielder could begin a rehab assignment if/when he’s able to compete that goal. The 24-year-old has been out with a strained forearm since April 22, and he’ll likely need a handful of games before potentially returning around the start of June.

Langford will need to pass some forearm testing before he’s given clearance to resume hitting later this week. The 24-year-old fantasy standout has been on the shelf recovering from a right forearm strain since April 22. There should be a definitive return timetable once he starts ramping up baseball activities again.
