Projected lineup.


MLB.com listed every team’s predicted opening day lineup. Here is their prediction for the Rangers.

Rangers:
1. Marcus Semien, 2B
2. Corey Seager, SS
3. Evan Carter, LF
4. Adolis García, RF
5. Josh Jung, 3B
6. Jonah Heim, C
7. Justin Foscue, 1B
8. Wyatt Langford, DH
9. Leody Taveras, CF
SP: RHP Nathan Eovaldi
CL: RHP José Leclerc

Corey Seager (sports hernia) and Josh Jung (calf strain) are still rehabbing their injuries, but the Rangers still remain optimistic that both will be ready for Opening Day. MLB Pipeline’s Number Six overall prospect Wyatt Langford will break camp with the big league club after a sensational spring. 

This is a strong lineup one through nine, with no holes. Langford at eighth seems wrong. You’d think he would be batting fifth, with his ability to hit the ball, get on base, and drive in runs. But, right now it’s all speculation.
