ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers center fielder Wyatt Langford has been put on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain for the second time this season.
Chris Young, the team's president of baseball operations, said Friday that Langford has a "very low grade" strain. The second-year outfielder hasn't played since Tuesday in Baltimore.
"Feel like it's just the right thing to do. With two off days, it shortens the amount of games missed," Young said. "Just getting this right on the front end."
The Rangers, also before the opener of their home series against Seattle, activated right-hander Nathan Eovaldi from the 15-day injured list to start Friday night, exactly one month after his last game before going on the IL because of elbow inflammation.
