Langford's stolen base was his ninth of the season. He was all over this game. Langford doubled in the ninth inning, stole third base and then scored the tying run on a single off the bat of Jonah Heim. In the 10th inning, he hit a walkoff single with the bases-loaded and two outs. Langford could be a fantasy force for the rest of the season and years to come.
Heim is well off last year's All-Star pace, though his exit velocity and plate discipline numbers have held steady. Unfortunately, it's 2023 that looks more like a fluke than 2024. He's hitting .238/.286/.358 at the moment.
Heim (neck) will start at catcher and bat seventh Wednesday versus the Angels.
It certainly sounds like the Rangers didn't want to take any chances with Heim's health, especially with the All-Star break right around the corner. It'll be Adolis Garcia taking over at designated hitter and Derek Hill entering the lineup in right field. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Heim was scratched rom the Rangers' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Angels due to neck stiffness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
