Wyatt Langford Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) ran at high intensity on Tuesday and is hoping to come off the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break next week, according to Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports. Just a few weeks ago, the Rangers said that Langford wouldn't return before the break, so he has exceeded expectations during his rehab. He's recovering from a strained left hamstring and would have to skip a minor-league rehab assignment if he's going to return this week/weekend. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick out of the University of Florida in the 2023 MLB draft continues to be plagued by injuries early in his career, but his high-end power/speed potential keeps him stash-worthy while he rehabs yet another injury. In 40 games and 173 plate appearances so far in 2026 in his third big-league season, Langford has hit .278/.324/.500 with an .824 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and six stolen bases. Langford had his first 20-20 season (22 homers and 22 steals) in just 134 games and 573 plate appearances in his second full MLB campaign.

The Texas Rangers announced on Sunday that they placed outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring and activated outfielder Evan Carter (oblique) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. The oft-injured Langford is back on the IL for the second time in 2026 after already missing around six weeks with a strained forearm. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick out of the University of Florida in 2023 carries plenty of power/speed intrigue, but his inability to stay healthy has really become a nuisance for his fantasy managers. In his 162 at-bats this year, Langford has hit a strong .278/.324/.500 with an .824 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and six stolen bases, making him stash-worthy in nearly all fantasy leagues while he recovers. Given his injury history, nobody should be expecting Langford to return before the mid-July All-Star break. Alejandro Osuna is starting in left field for Texas in their series finale on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, and he should be in for an uptick in playing time against righties with Langford back on the shelf. UPDATE: Manager Skip Schumaker said that Langford will stay on the IL through the All-Star break, per MLB.com's Kennedi Landry.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Saturday night's game in Toronto against the Blue Jays due to tightness in his left hamstring, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. With Langford starting on the bench, Jarred Kelenic got the start in left field and is hitting sixth against Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease. It's yet another injury for Langford, who continues to deal with nagging injuries of all kinds. It's unclear how serious his hamstring injury is, though, so for now, we'll consider the right-handed slugger day-to-day. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Sunday to see if Langford is active for the series finale at the Rogers Centre. Since returning from a forearm injury on June 5, Langford has been money for fantasy managers, going 26-for-82 (.317) with seven home runs, five doubles, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 20 games played. When healthy, the former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida is one of the better young power/speed outfield options in the game.

The Texas Rangers announced on Friday that they activated outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) from the 10-day injured list before the series opener at Globe Life Field against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Parker Messick. The Rangers are getting a serious boost with the returns of both Langford and shortstop Corey Seager (back) for the start of their series against the Guardians. Langford has been sidelined since late April due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right forearm. He hit just .200 with a homer, two RBI, four runs scored, and a steal in 15 plate appearances during his minor-league rehab assignment, but Langford, when right, is one of the more intriguing young power/speed threats in the game. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida was hitting just .238 (19-for-80) with a homer and four RBI before going on the IL this year. Durability has become a major concern with Langford, but he did hit 38 homers, drive in 136, and steal 41 bases in 268 games in his first two big-league seasons with the Rangers.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) said he will take batting practice on Monday with an eye on live batting practice on Friday. If that goes off without a hitch, Langford will likely embark on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Langford has not played with the Rangers since April 21 and had a setback with his right-forearm injury while playing in extended spring training in late April, which is why he's still on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick out of the University of Florida in 2023 is making good progress of late, though, and could be reinstated from the IL at some point next week if he can avoid another setback this week. Langford still has intriguing power/speed upside despite all of his nagging injuries early in his career. He was hitting .238 (19-for-80) with only one homer in 20 games before his injury this year, but he slashed .247/.335/.423 with a .758 OPS, 38 homers, 136 RBI, and 41 stolen bases in his first two years in the big leagues for Texas.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) threw and hit on Friday for the first time in three weeks, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Langford will do the same routine for another week or so before going on a minor-league rehab assignment. "It's much healthier now than it was when I was trying to come back the first time," Langford said. The 24-year-old is currently on the 10-day injured list and has not played since April 21 due to right-forearm soreness. Langford already had a setback with his forearm and was pulled from a rehab assignment. It's good news that he's swinging and throwing again, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return until at least early June. The former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida has high-end power/speed upside in the outfield in Texas, but injuries have been piling up for him early in his career. He has only played in 20 games in 2026 and has hit .238 (19-for-80) with a homer, four RBI, three steals, and nine runs scored across 84 plate appearances. Langford is still rostered in 89% of Yahoo leagues, though, after hitting 38 home runs, driving in 136, and stealing 41 bases in 268 games in his first two years in the majors.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) will do another forearm strength test on Wednesday, May 20, and if all goes well, he will be cleared to begin swinging a bat two days later and restart his full ramp-up, per MLB.com. Langford has been slow to recover from a Grade 1 right-flexor strain in his forearm after being placed on the 10-day injured list on April 22. He was originally expected to return in mid-May, but at this rate, the power/speed outfielder might be lucky to make it back to the Rangers before the end of the month. The oft-injured former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida made a quick rise to the big leagues and has teased his power/speed skills with 38 homers, 136 RBI, and 41 stolen bases in 268 games in his first two years in the league. Langford has only managed to play in 20 games in 2026, but he remains a must-stash for his multi-category upside in fantasy. He's currently rostered in 88% of Yahoo leagues. If he was dumped by his previous manager, scoop Langford up immediately.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) did another "strength test" on his forearm on Sunday and recovered well on Monday, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. McFarland writes that it's a good sign and is an improvement for Langford, although he'll still need to pass a few more tests before he starts his hitting and throwing progressions. The 24-year-old is progressing, but rather slowly, and at this rate, we might not see him return from the 10-day injured list until June. Once Langford is finally cleared to resume baseball activities, he figures to need at least a short minor-league rehab assignment, too. Fantasy managers might be running out of patience with the former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida. He still has immense power/speed potential, but injuries continue to be the story here. Langford has only played in 20 games so far in 2026 and has hit .238 (19-for-80) with a homer, four RBI, three steals, and nine runs. He had his first 20-20 season in 2025 with 22 homers, 62 RBI, and 22 steals in just 134 contests.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) will miss at least one more week of action. He rejoined the team on Saturday ahead of their game against the Detroit Tigers. However, Langford won't play and will rest for a full week before being re-evaluated by the organization. He was on track to play on Saturday before aggravating his forearm injury during a rehab game on Thursday. The Rangers are going to play it safe and give Langford a week to rest and recover. The Rangers should give an updated timetable on his return once he resumes baseball activities.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) felt something in his right forearm on Thursday and left an extended spring training game in Arizona early as a result, according to Jeff Wilson of All City DLLS. The Rangers are awaiting more information on Langford's injury. He could play again on Friday night in Arizona, but it's also possible that he'll have to restart his swing progression. Langford was playing in his first game action since landing on the 10-day injured list last week with a flexor strain in his right forearm. Although the Rangers think that this could end up being a minor setback, it likely means that Langford won't return to the team's lineup this Saturday as previously expected. With the 24-year-old's return to the MLB roster pushed back, Ezequiel Duran should continue to benefit from more playing time in the outfield for Texas going forward. Despite another injury and a slow start in 2026, Langford should be stashed in all fantasy leagues for his power/speed upside. He was hitting .238/.274/.363 with a homer, four RBI, three steals, and nine runs scored in just 20 games at the time of his forearm injury.
