Texas doesn\u2019t want to abandon that, but manager Skip Schumaker admitted before the game that the Rangers need more slug.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Enter Langford and Seager, each with an extra base hit in their first game back.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">\u201cThe timing looked right the first at-bat \u2014 it looked right,\u201d Schumaker said. \u201cI know it didn\u2019t result in a hit for them, but it was a really good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\"><strong>Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford Back on the Field<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nice to have this back. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/AllForTX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AllForTX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S6g7PY5sz1\">pic.twitter.com\/S6g7PY5sz1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Texas Rangers (@Rangers) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Rangers\/status\/2063077145396863437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Seager\u2019s home run was not just significant because it was the go-ahead home run. It was the end of the worst slump of Seager\u2019s career. Before he went on the injured list on May 15 with lower bank inflammation, he was mired in a 0-for-27 slump and was slashing .179\/.286\/.353 with four home runs and 20 RBI.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">The two-time World Series MVP was retired twice by Messick, making his 21st MLB start. But not the third time. Seager parked an opposite field home run into the left field seats, scoring Langford.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">It was an encouraging sign for the slugger, who took the unusual step \u2014 for him \u2014 of going on a rehab assignment earlier this week. He hadn\u2019t don\u2019t that in three years.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">\u201cIt was just nice to get out there with the guys again,\u201d Seager said. \u201cYou never want to be on the IL. You just want to be out there competing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">As for Langford, his first at-bat resulted in an out, but it was the type of hit that will play in the new world of Globe Life Field as a pitcher\u2019s park. His shot to the alley in right-center field was run down by Guardians right fielder Chase DeLauter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">His double found a gap in left-center field and this time it wasn\u2019t tracked down, leading to a double. Again, it\u2019s the type of slug that plays well in GLF now.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\">Before he went on the IL on April 21 with a right forearm strain, Langford was slashing .238\/.274\/.363 with one home run and four RBI. But he was starting to emerge from a slump that held him back at the start of the season. He also had a false start in May during a rehab start and had to be shut down.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\">It resulted in the longest IL stint of his career and left him itching to get back on the field. Schumaker batted him leadoff in front of Seager.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\">\u201cThe rehab games helped,\u201d Langford said. \u201cI got probably 16 at-bats maybe, worked some walks, which was good. I feel like I\u2019m in a good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\">Schumaker doesn\u2019t see the return of the pair as changing how the Rangers will do business offensively. They\u2019ll still look to steal bases, use the hit-and-run and even bunt when needed. Langford\u2019s ability to steal bases fits right into that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\">Rather, it\u2019s adding to an emerging philosophy that\u2019s working as opposed to replacing it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\">\u201cIt was a reminder that we have to be able to beat teams different ways,\u201d Schumaker said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t really have a chance to do any small ball, bunts or anything like that. So we have to be able to beat teams in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div data-testid=\"google-news-widget\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" alt=\"Rangers\u2019 Corey Seager, Wyatt Langford Return with Immediate Impact\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" \/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager sure didn\u2019t play like they had been on the injured list when they returned on Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4975,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rangers&#039;
