Langford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-0 win over the Guardians.
Langford launched just his second home run of the season in the fourth inning.

Rotowire
Langford (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
Langford (forearm) was cleared to begin a throwing and hitting progression Friday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Langford was briefly shut down after earlier this month after experiencing renewed soreness in his right forearm during an extended spring training game, but he seems to be steadily ramping back up again.

He appears to be trending toward a return from the 10-day injured list in early-to-mid-June.
Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Could begin swinging bat Friday
Rotowire
Langford will undergo another strength test on his right forearm Wednesday and could begin swinging a bat by Friday, MLB.com reports.
This continues a string of good news for Langford, who has been out since April 21 and suffered a setback in an extended spring game. The grip test the outfielder must complete uses the baseline measure he posted during spring training as a threshold, per Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. If Langford's strength is at least 80 percent of what it was in camp, the Rangers will consider it a success and put a bat in his hands to begin a full ramp-up.
Langford did a strength test on his right forearm Sunday and recovered well when re-evaluated Monday, though he hasn't been cleared to resume throwing or hitting yet, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
McFarland notes that it's promising news that Langford felt good after Sunday's strength test, but the 24-year-old still has more hurdles to clear. The fact that he hasn't gotten the green light to resume throwing or a hitting progression likely means he's at least a week away from a return from the 10-day injured list.
