Texas Rangers’ Wyatt Langford never hit a grand slam ... until this week

Despite the feat coming in spring training, Langford when asked if he counts it said, “Oh, definitely. It absolutely counts.”

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford rounds the bases after hitting a two-run home run off Chicago White Sox pitcher Prelander Berroa during the third inning of a spring training game on Saturday, March 2, 2024, in Surprise, Ariz.Langford did not homer on Saturday, but smoked a first-inning double and later poked a single up the middle for his 15th RBI of the spring.“He’s had a great camp, put himself in a great position,” Young said.

. He said “unequivocally” he will play some outfield. In all likelihood, that means he’d split time between DH and left, allowing for the other outfielders to both rotate through DH and occasional days off. Young said the Rangers are not concerned that Langford would have any trouble with adjusting to some time at DH. How much remains up in the air.Evan Grant
