Overview

  • Langford, who left Friday’s game in Los Angeles with right quad tightness, was diagnosed Saturday with a very mild strain and is day-to-day.
  • He felt the tightness as he rounded the bases after reaching down to lift a Tyler Glasnow curveball for his first home run of the season.
  • He was held out of Saturday’s lineup against the Dodgers, and he said he expects to return for the upcoming series against the A’s.
  • The 24-year-old entered Friday hitting .160 with 13 strikeouts through 12 games, heightening the need to keep him available as he works to rebound.
  • Texas can cover left field with Ezequiel Duran, Sam Haggerty or Andrew McCutchen as the club monitors a player whose past IL trips were for a hamstring strain in 2024 and three oblique strains in 2025.
