The 23-year-old budding superstar will serve as the designated hitter on Thursday night before easing his way back into the outfield. Langford wanted to skip the rehab assignment altogether, so as long as he shows that he’s ready to go, there’s a chance that the Rangers could bring him back at some point during their weekend series against the Dodgers.

Dropped to ninth in the order of late, Jung hasn’t been as bad as that ‘demotion’ would indicate. His power has lagged a bit – this homer was only his third of the season – despite him missing a week with an injury, but he’s barreling the ball better than he ever has in his career and dropped his strikeout rate for what would be the third consecutive season if he keeps it up. He’s a better option than his surface stats, especially in a weak third base landscape.

Mahle cruised besides for two solo home runs by Alex Bregmana and Wilyer Abreu in the fourth inning. That being said, Mahle did not have his swing-and-miss stuff working with a shocking zero strikeouts. He forced just four whiffs, which made this his third time in four starts where he forced six or fewer whiffs. While he still has a sterling 1.48 ERA, it feels as if some serious regression is coming soon. It may not come next start though, as he’s scheduled to face the Rockies at home at the front of a two-start week that will end with the Astros coming to town.

Duran returns to the big leagues with veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar hitting the shelf with a back strain. The 25-year-old offers some versatility in a bench role, but he’s been a non-factor at the dish for the better part of the last two seasons.

Bader was out of the starting lineup due to illness, but the 30-year-old looked plenty healthy with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The outfielder has now homered four times in 2025, and it’s come with a solid slash of .287/.368/.457.

Painter will make his first start in the upper minors after four outings for Low-A Clearwater to open the season. The 22-year-old is universally-regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and is expected to make his major-league debut at some point in the second half of the year.

Clase joins Toronto’s crowded corner outfield mix after hitting .315 with 15 steals in 27 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo. The 22-year-old is unlikely to garner enough playing time to make a significant impact for fantasy purposes.
