Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford put together a big game in Monday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. The outfielder went 2-for-5 with a stolen base, run and one RBI. The RBI would be a big one, as it came in the bottom of the tenth inning off Steven Wilson to send the crowd and Rangers home with a victory. Langford started the season ice-cold, but since returning from a right hamstring strain on May 28, he has really picked things up and shown why he was a preseason favorite of many entering the 2024 season. For the year, Langford is now hitting .254 with five home runs, 42 RBI and nine stolen bases in 284 at-bats. Langford is clicking on all cylinders and could be a big part of managers success in the second half of the season.
Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford will once again play left field and hit cleanup for the team on Tuesday on the road in Anaheim against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Roansy Contreras. This will be the third straight game that Langford has hit cleanup for the defending World Series champions, and the 22-year-old youngster has responded by going 6-for-10 with a homer and three RBI in the last two games in the four-hole. His hot hitting hasn't been limited to the last two games, though, as Langford has been on a tear since June 28, hitting .432 (16-for-37) with two homers, four doubles, a triple, eight RBI, six walks and eight runs scored in 10 games played. Especially in a juicy matchup against Contreras on Tuesday, Langford should be in all starting fantasy lineups.
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford homered to highlight a two-hit performance in Monday's 9-4 win at the Los Angeles Angels. Langford hit his fifth homer, a two-run shot in the top of the seventh that gave the Rangers a 9-3 lead. He also singled and scored two runs and is now slashing .273/.338/.414 with 39 RBI, 30 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in nine attempts. Over the past month, Langford is hitting .343/.414/.586 with four homers, 24 RBI, and 14 runs scored, looking much like the rookie slugger that tore through pitchers in spring training and rewarding fantasy managers who drafted him in the early to mid rounds in March.
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford capped off a strong June by hitting for the cycle on Sunday Night Baseball against the Baltimore Orioles. Langford capped off the cycle by hitting a homer in the eighth inning, a moment he surely won't forget. He ended up going 4-for-5 with four RBI and three runs scored. The 22-year-old struggled out of the gate but has seemingly found his footing in June, hitting .309 with 11 runs, three homers, 22 RBI, and six steals. Those who held onto Langford through his slow start and injury are reaping the benefits now, and he should only improve from here.
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford went 2-for-4 with his first career grand slam in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Royals. It was his third consecutive multi-hit game and eighth in June, now hitting .313 (21-for-67) for the month with four doubles, two triples, two home runs, 17 RBI, six runs scored, and six stolen bases in 18 games. The 22-year-old now has two home runs in his last four games, a welcome sign as fantasy managers who drafted him were expecting more pop based on his 70-grade power and after swatting six long balls in 21 spring games this year.
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is great news as Langford is set to play his first game since going down three weeks ago due to a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old hasn't been great this season with a .224/.295/.293 slash line with one home run and 11 RBI in 31 games. However, Langford has all the tools to be a star in the big leagues. He should get plenty of chances with fellow outfielder Evan Carter (back) going on the injured list on Tuesday.
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) tallied a hit, a run, and a walk in his first rehab game on Friday evening while serving as the designated hitter for Triple-A Round Rock. He hit three balls over 100 mph, including his single, which is a great sign. Langford is expected to rejoin the major league roster on Tuesday when the Rangers open a two-game World Series rematch as they host the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, Langford should be expected to start at least one game in the outfield before being activated off the injured list. The former number four overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft struggled through his first 31 games in the majors with a .224/.295/.293 line. Despite the slow start, the former Florida Gator should remain a lineup lock going forward and could become a very valuable fantasy asset once he finds his footing.
Wyatt Langford Could Be Back With Rangers On Monday
Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) is expected to start a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, perhaps as soon as Friday, which could make him an option to come off the injured list for the start of a series in Texas on Monday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Langford has been out for almost three weeks due to a strained hamstring, but as long as he doesn't encounter any setbacks this weekend, he should rejoin the Rangers early next week and return to being an everyday player. The Rangers could certainly use the offensive help after just getting swept in Philadelphia by the Phillies. Last year's No. 4 overall pick out of Florida has started his MLB career with just 26 hits in 116 at-bats (.224 average) and one homer, but his power upside from the right side of the plate is undeniable and he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
Wyatt Langford Proceeding Well In Recovery Process
Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) has been "doing great" in his recovery process, per manager Bruce Bochy. Bochy expressed that "He's getting live at-bats, swinging the bat well too, down there in BP-He's doing well." This is a great sign for the 22-year-old who is just over the halfway mark of his expected 3-4 week absence that started on May 5. Before the injury, Langford posted a .224/.295/.293 slash line with just one home run and one stolen base. He should remain rostered in all leagues and should be a must-start player when he returns.
Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) ran the arc of the infielder before Wednesday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. It comes after Langford said on Monday that he has been able to run at around 85-90 percent intensity as he rehabs from a strained right hamstring that was expected to keep him out for three to four weeks. The 22-year-old fourth overall pick last year out of Florida began swinging a bat last Friday, but the Rangers aren't going to rush their prized outfield prospect back too soon. In his first 31 major-league games before going on the injured list, Langford went 26-for-116 (.224) with a home run, 11 RBI, a stolen base and 13 runs scored. Despite his slow start, Langford's sky-high upside makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy formats.
