The Texas Rangers will be without leading slugger Wyatt Langford for a while after placing the outfielder on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right oblique strain.
He exited Tuesday’s 10-6 road loss to the Chicago Cubs after batting in the seventh inning. He finished 2-for-4 with a double and a homer.
Langford, 23, tops the team with four homers and shares the team lead with six RBIs. He’s slashing .244/.333/.561 and had started all 12 contests this season.
Texas recalled outfielder Dustin Harris from Triple-A Round Rock, where he has batted .184 in nine games with four stolen bases. He played in two games for the Rangers last September, going 2-for-6 with a homer.
Texas also recalled utilityman Ezequiel Duran, who had been sent down to Round Rock the previous day after the activation of Josh Jung. Duran is 0-for-11 this season.
Infielder Jonathan Ornelas, who was 0-for-4 in three games, was sent to Triple-A.
