Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This comes a day after Langford was removed after aggravating his left oblique issue. The Rangers have decided to shut him down for the rest of the season. They aren't playing for anything at this point, so they might as well let him rest. Langford will finish with a .241/.344/.431 slash line with 22 home runs, 62 RBI, and 22 steals in 134 games. In a corresponding move, outfielder Billy McKinney has been recalled to take Langford's spot on the active roster.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (side) exited Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Twins in the fifth inning with left-side tightness, per MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. Langford went 0-for-2 before being pinch-hit for by Michael Helman. The 23-year-old has been dealing with side tightness and sat out of games over the past weekend. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more news and for Wednesday's lineup announcement. Langford has put together a decent sophomore season overall, slashing .241/.344/.431 with 22 home runs, 73 runs scored, 62 RBI, and 22 stolen bases in 573 plate appearances.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (side) is returning to the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Miami Marlins. After missing the first two games of the series with tightness in his side, Langford will play left field and bat second against right-hander Eury Perez as the Rangers try to avoid a sweep. Langford has gone a miserable 9-for-53 (.170) with one home run, four RBI, three stolen bases, and 17:12 K:BB in 15 games this month. Despite his September struggles, Langford has hit a respectable .241/.342/.427 with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 72 runs, and 21 steals in 567 plate appearances this year.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (side) is not in the starting lineup against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Alejandro Osuna will handle left field and hit third versus right-hander Adam Mazur, while Michel Helman will play center and bat ninth. This is the second straight game off for Langford, who's day-to-day with side tightness. The 23-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list twice this season with oblique strains (one on each side). When healthy, Langford has hit an above-average .241/.342/.427 with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 72 runs, and 21 steals in 567 trips to the plate. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday to see if Langford returns to the Rangers' lineup.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (side) was out of the lineup for a 6-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday with "side tightness," manager Bruce Bochy said. Bochy added that Langford is day-to-day and may have to sit out Saturday's game. Side issues often lead to oblique injuries, which have been a problem for Langford this season. He has been on the 10-day IL twice this year with oblique strains (one on each side), giving the Rangers more incentive to play it safe with him. The 23-year-old has set career highs in homers (21) and stolen bases (21) while slashing .241/.342/.427 with 72 runs scored and 61 RBI in 567 plate appearances this season. Alejandro Osuna filled in for Langford in left field on Friday.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) is starting in left field and will bat second in Friday's series opener against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Chris Bassitt. Forearm tightness kept Langford out of the series finale on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he's ready to roll after a scheduled day off on Thursday. The 23-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of Florida is hitting .239/.325/.412 and has already matched his home run total (16) from his rookie campaign. He's added 48 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 49 runs scored in 100 games played. Langford is riding a modest four-game hitting streak and has gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, two doubles and five RBI in 11 games so far in the month of August. He has faced Bassitt just twice in his career and has two hit and an RBI against him.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) is dealing with forearm tightness and will sit out Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. The Rangers haven't released their lineup yet, but it's likely the just-activated Evan Carter will replace Langford in center field. While the Rangers don't believe Langford's injury is serious, they'll take a look at it to make sure, according to McFarland. Langford has spent time on the 10-day injured list twice this season with oblique issues, but he has still appeared in 100 games and hit a decent .239/.325/.412 with 16 homers, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases in 428 plate appearances.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford hit a home run and recorded three RBI in his team's 7-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. It's the 23-year-old's first home run since July 11, so both fantasy managers and the Rangers will hope this is the sign of a power surge to come. In 424 plate appearances so far this season, Langford is hitting .238/.321/.412 with 16 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases. His barrel rate has increased from 9.3% in 2024 to 13.4% in 2025, but his strikeout rate has also jumped from 20.6% to 27.1%. He remains a solid contributor in fantasy, but an underwhelming one given his draft-day cost and prospect pedigree.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford had a huge game in his team's 7-3 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night, going four-for-five with a home run, two RBI, and a stolen base. The 23-year-old is having a solid but unspectacular season in the middle of an underwhelming Rangers' offense so far in 2025. In 323 plate appearances, Langford has slashed .246/.325/.442 with 15 home runs, 38 RBI, 40 runs, and 14 stolen bases. His 26% strikeout rate is nearly 6% higher than the 20.6% rate he posted in 2024, but he's also upped his barrel rate (9.3% to 12.5%) and isolated slugging (.162 to .196). Langford quietly has a chance at a 25-homer/25-steal season and remains a balanced contributor across the board even if he hasn't been the breakout star fantasy managers were hoping for earlier this year.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford had a productive day in an 11-8 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Langford went 2-for-4 with two runs and two stolen bases, but it wasn't quite enough in the high-scoring loss to Los Angeles. The 23-year-old outfielder flashed his speed in the game, stealing both of his bases off the Kyle Hendricks/Travis d'Arnaud battery to give him 13 steals in 16 attempts this season after swiping 19 bags as a rookie in 2024. Overall, Langford is slashing .235/.313/.426 with 14 homers, 38 runs, and 35 RBI across 277 at-bats this year. His combination of power and speed makes him a valuable fantasy asset in all formats.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) has been activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Langford missed about two weeks of action due to an oblique injury. Before going down, Langford was slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, and 11 stolen bases across 67 games. The slash line isn't perfect, but Langford does a little bit of everything which makes him valuable in fantasy formats. He'll bat sixth and play left field versus right-hander Stephen Kolek on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Langford in there ahead of first pitch. In a corresponding move, infielder Justin Foscue has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) is expected to rejoin the big league club ahead of Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Langford is ready to get back in the mix after being sidelined since late June due to a left oblique strain. Before going down, Langford was in a mini slump, going 1-for-13 at the plate, but will hopefully get off to a better start at the plate. He's slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 67 games this season. Langford does a little bit of everything which makes him worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) took a successful live batting practice Wednesday and will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday, according to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. Langford, on the 10-day injured list since June 25 with a strained left oblique, is targeting a return to the Rangers' lineup on Sunday. The 23-year-old has hit .232/.308/.421 with 13 homers, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 292 trips to the plate this season.

Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said that the team expects outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list before Saturday's game against the hosting San Diego Padres. Langford will likely start his minor-league rehab assignment on Wednesday. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, the 23-year-old will have a minimal stay on the IL, which is music to his fantasy managers' ears. The former first-rounder out of Florida will return to regular starting duties for the Rangers in left field to close out the first half of the season. Langford hits the ball very hard when he makes contact and has plenty of power/speed upside for fantasy managers, but he's in the 37th percentile for whiff rate and has already dealt with multiple oblique injuries, dating back to spring training. He's currently slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 homers, 31 RBI and 11 steals.

The Texas Rangers will place outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a mild left-oblique strain, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. We had a pretty good feeling that Langford would eventually land on the IL when it was announced on Friday that he was out of the starting lineup against the division-rival Seattle Mariners with an oblique injury. Even though it's considered mild, the 23-year-old also missed time in spring training with a similar injury. Depending on how he recovers in the coming weeks, there's a chance he won't be ready to rejoin the big-league lineup for the second half of the season on July 18 coming out of the All-Star break. With clear 20-20 potential, Langford needs to be held onto in all fantasy leagues while he recovers. All three of Josh Smith, Alejandro Osuna and Sam Haggerty could see playing time in left field for Texas with Langford out.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique), who is out of Friday's lineup against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, said he's dealing with a very minor left-oblique strain. The Rangers haven't made a decision yet on whether to put him on the injured list, and Langford thinks the team will give him a few days before making a final decision. Langford was pulled from Wednesday's game early and also missed time back in spring training with an oblique injury, so we'd be surprised if he avoids a trip to the IL, especially with the All-Star break quickly approaching. The 23-year-old former first-rounder out of Florida has clear 20-20 potential but has gone 17-for-76 (.224) with two homers, eight RBI and 25 K's in 18 games in June. Fantasy managers should be preparing for a potential lengthy absence. Josh Smith, Alejandro Osuna and Sam Haggerty are all options to play left field if Langford misses additional time.

Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (side) is out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards due to left-side tightness. Langford will go for testing when the Rangers return home from Baltimore, but there seems to be less concern than with first baseman Jake Burger, who went on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a strained left oblique. The Rangers have a day off for travel on Thursday, but fantasy managers should automatically assume that Langford will return for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Seattle Mariners. Remember, the 23-year-old former first-rounder dealt with a mild oblique injury that kept him out for a while back in spring training, so the Rangers won't rush him back with the All-Star break looming. Alejandro Osuna and Sam Haggerty could pick up starts in left if Langford misses additional time.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford is getting a breather in Wednesday's contest at Camden Yards against the hosting Baltimore Orioles. Alejandro Osuna will make the start for Texas in left field and will hit out of the nine-hole against Orioles rookie right-hander Brandon Young, who will be making just his third major-league start. Langford went hitless in six at-bats in Tuesday's game against Baltimore and has just one hit in his last 13 at-bats since returning from minor back stiffness that kept him out for a few games over the weekend. Fantasy managers should expect the former first-rounder to be back in the Rangers' starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Seattle Mariners after a scheduled day off on Thursday. Osuna isn't a realistic DFS sleeper play, even against a rookie pitcher with limited experience.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (back) is returning to the starting nine on Sunday when they conclude a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Langford has been held out of action in the previous two games due to lower back stiffness. However, the former top prospect was able to avoid a lengthy absence. This afternoon, the Florida product is slated to bat in the two-hole and cover center field. After a disappointing May where Langford posted an underwhelming .189/.275/.349 slash line with two doubles and five home runs, he has begun to turn the corner. Since June 1, Langford has posted a solid .254/.314/.397 line with three doubles and two long balls. Langford is a solid play in DFS this afternoon, facing Pittsburgh left-hander Bailey Falter.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (back) is not in the team's lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Langford previously missed Friday's game because of back stiffness. Manager Bruce Bochy said at the time that Langford is considered day-to-day. The Rangers will once again replace him in left field with Sam Haggerty, who will hit second against Pirates starter Mitch Keller.
