Wyatt Langford - Still sitting Sunday Langford (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact 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.

Ezequiel Duran - In left field Saturday Duran went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Duran, who replaced Wyatt Langford (quad) in left field Friday, started there Saturday. Langford underwent an MRI on Saturday, which indicated the injury is a mild strain, per Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com. He was considered to be available off the bench, which suggests Duran's stay in left field will be a short one.

Brandon Nimmo - Slugs two long balls in loss Nimmo went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and three total RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.
Impact Nimmo gave Texas a quick lead with a game-opening shot against Emmet Sheehan. Los Angeles stormed back for four runs in the bottom of the first, but Nimmo closed the deficit with another long ball -- this time a two-run shot -- in the sixth. Nimmo hadn't homered in his previous 10 games, though he performed well with five multi-hit games during that span. Overall, he's been arguably the Rangers' best hitter in the early going, producing a .364/.435/.618 slash line with three home runs, 10 runs, seven RBI and a stolen base through 14 contests.

Jack Leiter - Struggles against Dodgers Leiter (1-1) allowed five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings in a loss against the Dodgers on Saturday.
Impact The Rangers handed Leiter a 1-0 first-inning lead, but he quickly gave that back when Shohei Ohtani led of the bottom of the first with a homer. Teoscar Hernandez went deep for a three-run shot five batters later, and Texas never made up the deficit. In addition to the long balls, Leiter struggled with his control, throwing just 54 of 93 pitches for strikes and issuing four walks after handing out just two free passes over his first two starts. Leiter had been pitching well coming into Saturday, with a particularly impressive 17:2 K:BB across his first 11 frames, so the poor outing against a star-studded Dodgers lineup shouldn't cause fantasy managers to give up on him. The right-hander's next start is lined up to come on the road versus the Athletics.

Wyatt Langford - Out of Saturday's lineup Langford (quadriceps) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Imaging on Langford's quad revealed a small strain Saturday, 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.

Cody Bradford - Next rehab delayed Bradford (elbow) was scheduled to pitch for Double-A Frisco on Wednesday, but the Rangers opted to give him additional recovery time, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News rep...
Impact Bradford made an initial rehab start April 2, but the left-hander apparently hadn't recovered quick enough by Wednesday. "We'll make sure he feels 100% recovered before he makes his next outing," Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said. "It's just normal soreness. It's part of your buildup, it's part of rehab." The organization does not want him to push through the soreness. Bradford is in the final stages of recovering from an internal brace procedure.

Ezequiel Duran - Enters for injured teammate Duran entered Friday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers to play left field after Wyatt Langford (quad) was removed and went 1-for-2 with an RBI.
Impact Duran extended a hit streak to three games with a ninth-inning RBI-single. Langford will undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury. If the results of testing leads to Langford missing games or a stint on the IL, either Duran or Sam Haggerty could fill in. Duran had been playing third base in place of banged-up Josh Jung, who returned to duty Friday after a two-game absence.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Haggerty - Logs first steal Haggerty entered Friday's game as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in an 8-7 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Haggerty scored Texas' game-tying run in the ninth inning to erase a 7-4 deficit it faced to start the frame. He remained in the game to play left field, which had earlier been vacated when Wyatt Langford left with a quad injury. Ezequiel Duran initially replaced Langford, who will undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Pending the results of Langford's test, there may be a need for a fill-in like the switch-hitting Haggerty. In limited playing time in 2025, he stole 12 bases over 64 games.

Impact 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.
