Scouting Report: Wyatt Olds

Summary

Wyatt Langford, 24-year-old Rangers left fielder, has been sidelined since April 22 with a right forearm strain (flexor tendon injury) suffered on a check swing against Pittsburgh. He experienced a setback during a minor league rehab game in Arizona approximately two weeks prior to mid-May reporting. As of May 12, Langford reports his forearm has felt "symptom-free" for the past two days but has not yet begun swing progression. He estimates a potential return timeline of "two or three weeks" (May 26 - June 2), though no official date has been set for resuming batting practice. The Rangers consulted a forearm specialist regarding his recovery protocol. Before the injury, Langford was slashing .238/.274/.363 with 1 HR and 4 RBI, but had shown improvement with a 78-point batting average increase over his final 10 games.
