The Texas Rangers are set to welcome back first baseman Jake Burger and outfielder Wyatt Langford this weekend after both players spent time on the injured list due to oblique injuries. Burger, who has struggled with a .220 batting average this season, was placed on the IL on June 21, while Langford, hitting .232, faced his own challenges before being backdated to June 25. They will both complete their rehab assignments at Triple-A Round Rock, and are expected to rejoin the Rangers during their series against San Diego.

Rangers President Chris Young expressed optimism about their return, especially considering the team is currently short-handed, missing Evan Carter due to a personal matter. The timing of their return could provide a much-needed boost as the Rangers look to maintain their competitive edge in the division. The team has been navigating challenges with injuries, hoping this reinforcement will propel them forward.
