  • Held out again Monday
    Isbel (face) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Minnesota.

    Advice: Isbel suffered a facial injury Saturday and will now miss a second straight start. He's considered day-to-day. Dairon Blanco will get the call in center field Monday. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:41 am
     
  • Wyatt Langford (hamstring) expected back Tuesday
    Wyatt Langford (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list on Tuesday.

    Advice: Langford played in his third game on his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and isn’t expected to need any more at-bats before he’s ready to return to the Rangers’ lineup. Before landing on the shelf on May 6, the 22-year-old phenom was hitting .224/.295/.293 with one homer, 11 RBI and one stolen base over his first 31 games at the big league level.

  • Could be activated Tuesday
    Langford (hamstring) will bat leadoff and start in left field for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday in what could be his final rehab appearance before he returns from the 10-day injured list, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: The Rangers could use a spark in the lineup, and with Langford playing the field in back-to-back games, it would seem his hamstring is responding well. Texas is off Monday, so Langford's status may not be known until Tuesday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:20 pm
     
  • Juan Soto plates run in loss to Padres
    Juan Soto doubled, walked and drove in a run as the Yankees fell to the Padres on Sunday afternoon in San Diego.

    Advice: The 25-year-old superstar broke a scoreless tie with a run-scoring double off of Joe Musgrove in the sixth inning. That would wind up being the Bombers’ only tally until the ninth inning. Soto is once again enjoying an outstanding all-around season at the plate — slashing a robust .310/.408/.571 with 14 homers, 44 RBI and four stolen bases. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:10 pm
     
  • Kyle Isbel (face) remains out Sunday vs. Rays
    Kyle Isbel (face) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Isbel fouled a ball off his face in the seventh inning and was removed from the game Saturday against Tampa Bay. He’ll miss at least one full game while recovering, and Garrett Hampson is starting in center field. For now, Isbel is listed as day-to-day. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:43 am
     
  • Sitting out Sunday
    Isbel (face) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Isbel will get at least one day off to heal up from the facial injury he suffered in the Royals' 7-4 win Saturday, when he fouled a ball off himself in the seventh inning. Garrett Hampson will spell Isbel in center field. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:18 am
     
  • Rehab moves to field
    Langford (hamstring) started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Advice: Langford, who began his rehab assignment Friday as the DH, moved to the field Saturday and played five innings. The Rangers, who have lost six straight and 12 of the last 14, could fast-track Langford's return to Tuesday, when Texas opens a two-game set against Arizona. A sign of that would be Langford starting in the outfield for a second straight day, when Round Rock finishes its series against Sugar Land on Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:51 am
     
  • Swipes bag in win
    Gorman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Gorman's game is more power than speed, but he's done a little of both with three home runs and two steals over his last six contests. Those two thefts account for his season total. The second baseman is slashing .215/.308/.423 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and seven doubles over 169 plate appearances on the year. He's not making a lot of contact; his 35.5 percent strikeout rate is an anchor on the rest of his stat line. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:13 pm
     
  • Kyle Isbel leaves game with injury on Saturday
    Kyle Isbel was removed from Saturday’s battle against the Rays after being hit in the face by a foul ball.

    Advice: Isbel was at the plate in the seventh inning when a foul tip caught him in the face. Depending on where exactly the ball caught him, he may head for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage and he also may need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s cleared to return to action. Stay tuned. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:10 pm
