Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford has been placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. Langford left Saturday's game with the injury.
Langford , who has played in 31 of the Rangers' 35 games in 2024, left Saturday's game in the fifth inning after the injury arose while he was running out a groundout. Langford is batting .224 with three doubles, a triple, a home run, and 11 RBI. He was the No. 4 overal pick the 2023 MLB Draft in July. After blowing through the minor league system last summer, Langford made the Opening Day roster after a very successful spring training.
The Rangers will make a corresponding move before the first game against the Athletics in Oakland on Monday. The clubs play a four-game set, including a double-header on Wednesday. One strong candidate to replace Langford is Triple-A Round Rock center fielder Derek Hill. The former first-round pick of the Detroit Tigers is batting .337 with five homers, eight double, two triples and 11 RBI in 25 games for Round Rock. Hill, 28, has 108 MLB at-bats, the last coming for the Washington Nationals in which he batted .170 in 13 games in 2023.
