It will be Higashioka and not Jonah Heim who gets the first start of the season behind the plate. This will likely be a close timehsare but given how good this Rangers lineup could be, it's worth monitoring how the team splits up this workload. The full Rangers lineup is: Marcus Semien 2B, Corey Seager DH, Wyatt Langford LF, Adolis Garcia RF, Jake Burger 1B, Josh Jung 3B, Kevin Pillar CF, Kyle Higashioka C, Josh Smith SS.
Langford has his second homer of the spring, and it's worth pointing out that the 23-year-old didn't debut until March 9 because of his oblique injury. The outfielder has massive fantasy upside, and he's shown it off in his limited Cactus League action.
Rangers' outfielder looking to build off strong finish to rookie year. The post Don’t Believe Your Hype: Wyatt Langford Pays No Mind To Expectations appeared first on Pitcher List.
Langford figured to get off to a slow start after missing the first couple of weeks with a strained oblique, but he's instead 5-for-8 with no strikeouts since returning Saturday. Expectations are that he'll be the Rangers' everyday No. 3 hitter, increasing the chances that he'll rate as a top-15 or maybe even top-10 fantasy outfielder in his second big-league season.
Langford singled off of Diamondbacks' ace Corbin Burnes in the fourth inning but was ultimately stranded there. The 23-year-old budding superstar was shelved early in spring training due to an oblique issue, but was finally able to return to action on Friday without any issues. As long as he avoids any setbacks, he should be ready to go for Opening Day. Langford is already among the top five-category performers in the league which is why he's already being drafted among the top 40 players overall in fantasy drafts.
