ARLINGTON \u2014 Rangers left fielder Wyatt Langford<\/a> remains in a holding pattern as he works his way back from a right forearm strain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rangers<\/a> have sought the opinion of a forearm specialist to best determine how Langford should proceed with his recovery, after it\u2019s already been paused once. Langford completed a swing progression two weeks ago and played one minor league rehab game at the club\u2019s Surprise, Ariz. complex, but after he re-aggravated his forearm injury in his first at-bat, he was removed from the contest and shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just not really sure what it kind of looks like yet,\u201d Langford said of his return timeline. \u201cI\u2019m pretty optimistic about, you know, within the next two or three weeks being back out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Langford, who slashed .238\/.274\/.363 before his injury, was eligible to return May 2 and\u00a0has now missed 19 games.<\/p>\n

Rangers right-handed pitcher Chris Martin<\/a>, out since April 15 with a shoulder impingement, made his first minor league rehab appearance at Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday afternoon. The 39-year-old allowed four runs on four hits \u2014 two of which were home runs \u2014 in two-thirds of an inning.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON \u2014 Rangers left fielder Wyatt Langford remains in a holding pattern as he works his way back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,90505,89744,89903],"class_list":["post-290672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-chris-martin","tag-tp-texas-rangers","tag-tp-wyatt-langford"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
