Rangers Place Wyatt Langford on Injured List with Oblique Strain

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. Despite describing the injury as 'very minor', the team opted for caution to prevent further complications, as Langford previously dealt with a similar issue earlier in the season. Langford had a strong start to the season, hitting four home runs and batting .244 in his first 12 games. The Rangers have recalled outfielder Dustin Harris and utility player Ezequiel Duran to fill the roster gap left by Langford's absence. The team hopes that Langford's recovery will be swift and less prolonged than past oblique injuries, which can sideline players for weeks. As a precaution, manager Bruce Bochy suggested that the decision to place him on the IL was a proactive measure to safeguard Langford's health moving forward.
