Jung is back in Arlington and could return to the lineup as soon as this weekend against Kansas City.
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung celebrates his two-run home run in the dugout with right fielder Adolis Garcia during the eighth inning against the Chicago Cubs, Saturday, March 30, 2024, in Arlington. The Rangers the beat Cubs 11-2.Still undetermined: when exactly he returns to the Rangers’ lineup. Saturday against Kansas City, though, is not out of the question.. He missed 12 weeks of games.
A Texas Rangers trainer, left, looks over Josh Jung after he was hit by a foul ball against the Tampa Bay Rays during the ninth inning of a baseball game Monday, April 1, 2024, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Jung left the game and was replaced by a pinch hitter.Opinions have apparently changed. Jung, who played three straight days for Round Rock earlier this week, had hits in each of the last two games he played.
“We want to make sure we are not putting him at risk,” Bochy said. “We want to do our due diligence and not put him in rush mode.”When he does return, Jung will wear a protective wrist guard. He wore the guard during a round of live batting practice against Tyler Mahle before going on rehab.Jung’s return is also going to cut into somebody else’s playing time. Bochy has made it clear that Josh Smith, who has primarily played third base in Jung’s absence,.
Bochy has said that Smith could move around the infield some, though how much seems a real question with Marcus Semien and Corey Seager at second and short, respectively. Bochy also mentioned that Smith could play some outfield. He has 22 games of starting experience in left field in the majors, though he has not appeared in the outfield this year.Evan Grant
