Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford has a Grade 1 flexor strain and was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Langford, 24, exited Tuesday’s 5-1 home victory over Pittsburgh after the fourth inning due to a right forearm strain. He went 0-for-1 with a walk, extending his on-base streak to a season-high 11 games since April 6.
In a corresponding move, the Rangers recalled outfielder Alejandro Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock.
Langford is batting .238 with one home run, four RBIs and two triples in 20 games this season.
He said after Tuesday’s game that he felt discomfort after the first swing of his second plate appearance. Langford also exited the April 10 contest at the Los Angeles Dodgers in the sixth inning because of a right quad strain — causing him to miss three games.
“It’s pretty aggravating just having to deal with stuff like this,” Langford said after Tuesday’s game.
Texas selected Langford in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2023 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida.
He is batting a career .246 with 39 home runs, 140 RBIs, 53 doubles, seven triples, 44 stolen bases, a .330 OBP and .419 SLG in 288 games since 2024.
Osuna, 23, batted .212 (32-for-151) with two homers and 15 RBIs in 63 games as a rookie in 2025.
