Wyatt Langford DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford put together a nice outing at the plate during Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. Langford got his team on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He smacked a home run in the seventh inning to give his team another insurance run. Langford ended this game going 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and a stolen base in the win. The 23-year-old doesn't have pretty slash line, but does have three homers over his last six games. Langford also has eight steals on the season, which does help his fantasy value. He does enough at the plate to be valuable despite a lackluster slash line.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford went 1-for-4 with a single and two steals in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He's up to six swipes in 2025 to match his home run total. The Florida native has been superb since returning from the IL with an oblique injury, batting first or second in all but two appearances and at least one hit in 13 of 16 games. During that time frame, Langford is a stellar 19-for-59 (.322) with six extra-base hits (four doubles, two homers), four steals, six runs scored, and eight RBI. He's striking out a bit more over that stretch (27.1%), but he's also slightly ticked up his walk rate (11.8%). Considering his lineup placement, it's surprising to see his run figure so low in the hot streak, but that should regress positively if he continues to get on base at an elevated clip.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford is sitting in Sunday's series finale against the Giants. It is simply a day of rest for the 23-year-old who has played in six consecutive games since coming off the IL after dealing with an oblique injury. The former first-round draft pick had been cruising at the plate, collecting three three-hit performances over the last week, and is slashing .344/.419/.688 on the year with six home runs and four stolen bases. Dustin Harris will get the start in left field and bat eighth for the Rangers on Sunday. Harris is hitless in his last nine at-bats and has a 1:9 BB:K through 25 plate appearances, so there are probably better DFS plays available.
