Overview
- The Rangers announced Sunday that outfielder Wyatt Langford has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.
- Texas reinstated Evan Carter from the injured list in the corresponding move after he went 2-for-2 with a homer and a walk in a one-game rehab at Double-A Frisco.
- Manager Skip Schumaker said the scratch was made just before Saturday’s game after the trainer flagged Langford and the club chose not to risk him.
- Langford had returned from a 39-game absence for a right forearm strain and hit especially well in June, but this is his sixth IL stint in a little over two seasons.
- The team gave no firm timetable for Langford’s return, a gap that could alter the Rangers’ lineup and roster plans as they sit in a tight race for the AL West and a wild-card spot.
