Out of Saturday's lineup
Langford (quadriceps) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
Imaging on Langford's quad revealed a small strain, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, but the 24-year-old is optimistic that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list and could return to the starting nine within a few days. In the meantime, Ezequiel Duran will start in left field Saturday and bat second.

Undergoing imaging on quad
Langford will undergo imaging on his right quadriceps Saturday morning, Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com reports. "I think it's pretty minor," Langford said after leaving Friday's game. "And then hopefully based on what we see on the imaging, be able to avoid the IL."
Analysis
Langford finally connected for his first home run of the season Friday, but he injured himself on the swing. "I think it was on the swing when I hit the home run, I guess I kind of reached down to get it," Langford said. "And when I started jogging, I just kind of felt tight." While the outfielder seems optimistic about his chances of avoiding the IL, Saturday's testing will determine whether or not that's realistic. Ezequiel Duran replaced Langford in Friday's game and Sam Haggerty later took over in left field, moving Duran to third base.

Leaves game with quad tightness
Langford was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to right quad tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
Langford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before exiting the game in the sixth inning. Sam Haggerty would be next in line to start in left field if Langford has to miss time, though it's still unclear if that will be necessary.
