Rangers Place Wyatt Langford on IL With Oblique Strain, Ending His Season

The injury punctuates a year of recurring side issues for the 23-year-old despite his team-leading production.

Overview

  • Texas selected outfielder Billy McKinney from Triple-A Round Rock and transferred Sam Haggerty to the 60-day injured list in corresponding moves.
  • Langford left Tuesday’s loss to the Twins in the fifth inning with left-side tightness, a defeat that eliminated the Rangers from postseason contention.
  • This marks his third injured-list stint of 2025 after absences from April 9–19 for a right oblique strain and June 25–July 5 for a left oblique strain.
  • He finished at .241 with 22 home runs, 62 RBIs, 25 doubles and 22 steals, leading Texas in homers, steals, runs, total bases, walks and strikeouts.
  • Recent roster activity also included activating Tyler Mahle, designating Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment before he was outrighted to Round Rock, and placing Dustin Harris on the 10-day injured list after a rescinded option.
