Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, X-rays came back negative, and the swelling in his ankle apparently subsided enough overnight for the 24-year-old to give it a go Sunday.

Rotowire
Langford said Saturday that X-rays on his left ankle and foot came back negative, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Langford said ice has reduced the swelling, and he expects to play in Sunday's game against the Mariners. Players tend to be a bit more optimistic on their recovery timelines, but consider Langford day-to-day for now. The first-place Rangers can't afford to lose their star outfielder to another injury after he's already missed 52 of 104 games this season to various ailments.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Could return before All-Star break
Rotowire
Langford (hamstring) ran at a high intensity Tuesday and hopes to be reinstated before the All-Star break begins next week, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Manager Skip Schumaker indicated last week that Langford would be out through the midseason break due to the left hamstring strain, but the outfielder has apparently made significant progress in his recovery over the past few days.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Heads to IL with hamstring strain
Rotowire
The Rangers placed Langford on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.
Langford will hit the shelf for the second time this season, after a forearm strain had previously kept him out for about six weeks earlier in the campaign. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on July 7, but unless the hamstring strain is deemed to be mild, the Rangers could be inclined to hold him out through the All-Star break. Texas activated Evan Carter (oblique) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, and he should step in as the primary replacement in center field for Langford.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Out through All-Star break
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that Langford (hamstring) will remain on the 10-day injured list through the All-Star break, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Langford will be eligible to come off the IL on July 7, but rather than rushing him back on the field for the final week of the first half, the Rangers will keep him out through the break to provide more time for his strained let hamstring to heal. Evan Carter was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Sunday in a corresponding move and will settle back in as the Rangers' primary center fielder, while Langford's absence should give Alejandro Osuna a longer leash as the team's main option in left field.
