Wyatt Langford, outfielder for the Texas Rangers, will start his rehabilitation assignment this Saturday with Triple-A Round Rock.
The 24-year-old has been sidelined since late April due to a forearm flexor strain. During his absence, the Rangers have struggled with a disappointing 14-20 record.
During the previous season, Langford delivered 22 home runs, 62 RBIs and 22 stolen bases across 134 games, while also contributing solid defensive play in the outfield.
This season, through 20 games before his injury, he managed one home run, four RBIs, three stolen bases and maintained a .238 batting average.
Meanwhile, Rangers All-Star shortstop Corey Seager, who has been dealing with a back issue, is participating in fielding practice and was scheduled for a live batting practice session on Saturday. Seager has been unavailable since May 14.
