Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Wyatt Langford, 24-year-old Rangers left fielder, has been sidelined since April 22, 2026 with a right forearm strain (flexor tendon injury). He suffered a setback during a minor league rehab game in Arizona after re-aggravating the injury in his first at-bat. Despite completing an initial swing progression, he was shut down and remains in a holding pattern. Rangers President Chris Young indicated the team is taking a cautious approach, with Langford expected to miss at least another 10-14 days before re-evaluation, potentially missing all of May. Before the injury, Langford was slashing .238/.274/.363. The team has consulted with a forearm specialist to determine the best recovery path.
