Langford was scratched from the lineup just before the game against the Toronto Blue Jays, having previously missed 39 games earlier this season with a forearm strain. He has been frequently sidelined by injuries during his career, including multiple hamstring strains and oblique strains. The Rangers activated Evan Carter from the injured list to fill Langford’s spot, after Carter missed time with a right oblique strain.
