Wyatt Langford Expected to Go on Injured List With Flexor Strain
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) said he's going on the injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right forearm that he suffered on a swing during Tuesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Jeff Wilson of All City DLLS. The good news for fantasy managers, though, is that he's only expected to need 10 days to get healthy again. The Rangers will recall outfielder Alejandro Osuna to replace Langford on the big-league roster. Ezequiel Duran, who got the start in left field on Wednesday with Langford sidelined, should see most of the playing time for the Rangers in the next 10 days in left field. The 24-year-old Langford has plenty of long-term upside because of his power and speed profile, but injuries continue to get in the way for the former fourth overall pick out of Florida in 2023. Fantasy managers should not be thinking of dumping him to the waiver wire. In his first 80 at-bats in 2026, Langford has 19 hits, a homer, four RBI, nine runs scored, and three stolen bases for the Rangers.

Mets Not Considering Role Change for Devin Williams
The New York Mets haven't considered changing right-handed reliever Devin Williams' role in the bullpen at this point, manager Carlos Mendoza told Max Goodman of NJ.com. Williams' struggles with the New York Yankees last year have carried over into 2026 across town. The 31-year-old veteran and two-time All-Star has allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits (one homer) while walking six and striking out 11 in 6 1/3 innings pitched so far with the Mets for a 9.95 ERA. He took the loss on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins after failing to record an out while giving up two earned runs on a hit and three walks. Williams didn't allow a run in his first five appearances with the Mets, but he's allowed seven runs in just 1 1/3 innings in his last three outings. It sounds like the Mets are going to give Williams some more leeway to work things out, but fantasy managers scrounging for saves already might want to make a speculative pickup on right-handed setup man Luke Weaver.

Maikel Garcia Leaves Early on Wednesday With Elbow Soreness
Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia (elbow) was pulled from Wednesday's game early after the fifth inning against the Baltimore Orioles with right-elbow soreness, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Until we have more details about the severity of Garcia's elbow injury, we'll consider him day-to-day. Before leaving the game against Baltimore, he went 0-for-3 at the plate with a strikeout. With an off day coming on Thursday, hopefully Garcia will be ready to return for Friday's series opener in KC against the Los Angeles Angels. He came into Wednesday's action with a .274 batting average (26-for-95) with two home runs, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 107 plate appearances across 24 games played. The 26-year-old Venezuelan infielder was replaced at third base by Nick Loftin. Garcia is currently rostered in 98% of Yahoo leagues.

Wyatt Langford Sitting Out on Wednesday With Forearm Injury
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates after being pulled from Tuesday's win early with right-forearm stiffness, according to MLB.com. Langford told reporters after Tuesday's game that he felt the tightness on a swing. He will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday. It's bad timing for Langford, as he was the team's hottest hitter before the injury, going 7-for-14 in the three-game series against the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. In his first 80 at-bats of the 2026 season, the 24-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida has hit .238 (19-for-80) with a homer, three doubles, two triples, four RBI, nine runs, and three stolen bases in 20 games. Ezequiel Duran will make the start in left field and hit ninth on Wednesday against the Pirates and right-hander Braxton Ashcraft. Even if Langford requires a trip to the injured list, he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues due to his power/speed upside.
