Rangers' Corey Seager: MRI comes back negative
Rotowire
An MRI on Seager's left wrist has come back negative, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
X-rays had also previously came back clean, so Seager's return to the Rangers' lineup will be determined by how much discomfort and swelling he's dealing with. The shortstop was injured when he was struck by a pitch Saturday in Baltimore and didn't play Sunday's game, but he has managed to avoid a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day. Texas has a team off day Monday before starting a series at home against the Padres on Tuesday.

Rangers' Josh Smith: Fills in at shortstop
Rotowire
Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 11-2 win over Baltimore.
Smith got the start at shortstop with Corey Seager (wrist) day-to-day. Seager was hit by a pitch during Saturday's game and, although X-rays came back negative, took a seat for the series finale against the Orioles. The Rangers are off Monday, giving Seager another 24 hours of healing, before a three-game set against the Padres. Once Seager is deemed healthy enough to return to shortstop, Smith will head back to third base, where he will continue to fill in for the injured Josh Jung (wrist), who may be back in the lineup soon, though the team is still evaluating him.

Rangers' Andrew Heaney: Dominates Orioles on Sunday night
Rotowire
Heaney (3-9) got the win Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 over seven innings.
Heaney had his most dominant start of the season, compiling double-digit strikeouts for the first time since he had 11 back in August of 2023. Sunday was also just the second time since May 11 that he's managed to not give up a walk. The Orioles pushed runs across in both the second and fourth innings but otherwise did not threaten and Heaney finished strong by striking out the side in the seventh. He's now allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last 12 starts. His record is deceiving due to the fact that the Rangers had scored a total of 30 runs in his first 15 starts this season. The 33-year-old southpaw will carry a 4.04 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 85:22 K:BB (84.2 innings) into a start against the Rays over the weekend.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Hits for cycle in blowout win
Rotowire
Langford hit for the cycle in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Orioles, going 4-for-5 with four RBI and three runs scored.
Langford made history with the first cycle of the 2024 MLB season Sunday night. He flew out his first time up and then took off from there, tripling in the fourth and then later completing things with a three-run blast in his final at-bat of the evening in the eighth. Langford is putting together quite the rookie campaign despite the season struggles from the Rangers. He became the first rookie in MLB history with a cycle, a grand slam and an inside-the-park home run in a season. He also became the first Rangers rookie to hit for a cycle since 1985. Langford caps off a productive month of June, during which he slashed .309/.368/.526 with three homers, 22 RBI, 11 runs, six steals and an 8:17 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Two more homers Sunday
Rotowire
Hill went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Orioles.
Hill opened up the scoring with a two-run blast in the second and later added on with a solo shot in the fifth. He's now started four of five games since returning to the majors Wednesday and has gone 5-for-14 with three homers and four RBI. Prior to this mini outburst, the 28-year-old had just four home runs in 289 career major league at-bats. Three of the four games Hill has started have come against lefty starters, but the Rangers don't project to face any lefties this week, so it remains to be seen how much the righty-hitting center fielder will play in the short term.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Withheld from Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Seager (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
The 30-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being struck in the left wrist by a pitch Saturday, and he'll miss at least one start. The Rangers are calling up Jonathan Ornelas for added infield depth, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, which could signify that Seager will miss some time. No IL move is coming Sunday though, as Brock Burke was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. Josh Smith is starting at shortstop as Davis Wendzel mans the hot corner.
