Nimmo's Return: Rangers' Flexibility in Right Field

0:00On April 30th, Brandon Nemo, the 32-year-old right-fielder for the Texas Rangers, left Wednesday's game early with right-hamstring tightness. But he's telling reporters he plans to suit up Friday against Detroit. The timing works out perfect with the Rangers off Thursday and again Monday, during their eight-day road trip with just six games, three in Detroit. Three against the Yankees, giving them built-in rest to ease them back. Fans and the team know they'd feel the loss without him. Nemo's been crushing it at 290 batting average, 364 on base, 460. Slugging, four homers and 12 RBIs over 31 games, locked in as their everyday lead-off hitter. Coaches have options if he's not full speed. Slide him to designated hitter, Friday, his first time this year, bumping Jack Petterson while Alejandro. Osuna, Sam Haggerty, or Andrew McCutchen cover right field based on the match-up or park him on the 10-day injured list, back-dated three days without, losing service time.

1:00Wyatt Langford starts rehab Thursday on his forearm strain and could return this weekend, making any roster swap simple, like flipping him in for, Nemo or Optioning Osuna if both are ready, so Texas stays flexible heading into Detroit.
