Three-hit game in win
Langford went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Analyse
Langford has gone 6-for-17 over four contests since he returned from a right quad strain. The outfielder is starting to turn around his relatively slow start at the plate. He's batting .214 with a .590 OPS while adding one home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, two doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 17 games. Langford is regularly hitting second or third in the order, which should give him plenty of chances to produce runs.

Returns to field
Langford started in center field and went 1-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Analyse
Langford played the field Thursday for the first time in three games since returning from a quad issue, and his activity on the basepaths is an encouraging sign that the injury is behind him. It was the second steal of the season for Langford, who swiped 22 bags (caught six times) in 2025.

Remains at DH
Langford served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Analyse
Langford made a second straight start as the DH since returning from a quad injury that cost him three games. He's 2-for-7 with a walk in his two games back. For the season, Langford is batting just .183 (11-for-60) with one home run, three RBI, one steal and two walks over 15 contests.

In lineup, as expected
Langford (quadriceps) will serve as Texas' designated hitter and bat second against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Analyse
Langford managed to avoid a trip to the injured list after suffering a right quad strain Friday, and he'll now return to the starting nine following a three-game absence. The 24-year-old has started slowly this season, slashing just .170/.185/.340 with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored through his first 54 plate appearances. He'll have an opportunity to turn things around Tuesday, however, as lefty Jeffrey Springs will be on the mound for the A's, and Langford boasts an .828 OPS against southpaws in his MLB career.

Expected to play Tuesday
Langford (quadriceps) is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analyse
Langford hasn't seen any action since Saturday after suffering a right quadriceps strain, but it seems he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Grant notes that Tuesday will be a strong spot to shuttle Langford back into the starting nine with a southpaw in Jeffrey Springs scheduled to toe the rubber in the second game of a four-game series.
13. April 2026
Not in Monday's lineup
Langford (quadriceps) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Athletics on Monday.
Analyse
Langford will be out of the Rangers' lineup for a third consecutive game due to a right quadriceps strain that he sustained during Friday's game against the Dodgers. Ezequiel Duran will start in left field and bat ninth in Monday's series opener.
12. April 2026
Still sitting Sunday
Langford (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Analyse
The 24-year-old outfielder departed Friday's contest due to right quadriceps tightness, which was diagnosed as a minor strain that will keep him on the bench Sunday for a second straight game. Ezequiel Duran will pick up another start in left field for the Rangers.
