The Rangers announced Wednesday that outfielder has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. Additionally, infielder has been optioned to Round Rock. Utilityman and outfielder have been recalled in a pair of corresponding transactions. Duran was only optioned to Triple-A yesterday, but he can return in fewer than the minimum 10 days since hes technically replacing the injured Langford on the roster. The 23-year-old Langford is out to a fast start, clubbing four homers through his first dozen games while slashing .244/.333/.561 overall. The 2023 No. 4 overall picks bid to follow up on a strong rookie showing Jacob Young Jersey last year will be placed on hold for the next week-plus at the very least, however, with a chance that hell require a lengthier stay. Every injury is different, but even many Grade 1 oblique strains (the most mild on a scale of one to three) can sideline a player for upwards of a month. Texas will hope Langfords current oblique strain plays out similarly to the one he sustained on the other side of his body early in camp this year, when a mild left oblique strain required him to be out of games for only about two weeks. With Langford shelved for the time being, his reps in left field will fall to a combination of Harris, Duran, and . and remain on hand to man center field and right field, respectively. Harris, 25, could get his first stretch of any real action in the majors following this promotion. He was briefly called up last year but only appeared in two games, going 2-for-6 with a homer. He has a decent track record at the plate in the upper minors but is widely considered a sub-par defender with no true home on the diamond. The Rangers have given Harris a look at all three outfield spots this season, and hes also spent ample time at every infield position other than shortstop. Hes a lefty hitter who could work his way into Bruce Bochys lineup at a variety of positions, but hes generally blocked from any sort of long-term regular role in Texas. , , and have the infield locked down, while Langford, Taveras, Garcia and give him plenty of roadblocks in the outfield. Harris is out to a tough start in Triple-A this year but is a career .268/.361/.401 hitter in 894 plate appearances there (in addition to a .252/.358/.445 line in 660 Double-A plate appearances).
