  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Plays in Monday's exhibition

    Jung started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's exhibition game against the Red Sox.

    Jung, who missed much of the Cactus League with a calf issue, increased his activity following Sunday's spring debut. After playing three innings and getting two at-bats Sunday, Jung was in the field for six innings and had three at-bats Monday. He's expected to play Tuesday, when these same two teams meet, and could be in line for a full nine innings.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Gets first spring ABs

    Jung started at third base and went 1-for-2 in Saturday's spring game against Colorado.

    Jung made his spring debut after straining his calf during infield drills in February. He participated in baseball activities recently, including a stint as a DH in a minor-league game, and the Rangers were optimistic about Jung being able to compete in a Cactus League game. He played three innings in the field before being replaced by Matt Duffy. Following an off day Sunday, Jung is expected to play both exhibition games against the Red Sox on Monday and Tuesday, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Back in field

    Jung (calf) is starting at third base in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Royals.

    Jung hasn't played in a Cactus League game this spring after straining his left calf during fielding drills in February. He was able to serve as the designated hitter in a minor-league game Monday, and the Rangers seem to be comfortable testing his calf in the field Saturday. Assuming Jung avoids any setbacks and doesn't aggravate his calf during the game, he should be set to start at the hot corner on Opening Day.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Serves as DH

    Jung (calf) served as the designated hitter in a minor-league game Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    In order to get as many at-bats as possible, Jung was the leadoff batter in every inning and went 2-for-4 with two singles. Texas manager Bruce Bochy is hopeful Jung will be ready to go by Opening Day and sees the third baseman playing in two exhibition game against the Red Sox at Globe Life Field on March 25-26. The manager has not ruled out a start in a Cactus League game before the Rangers break camp.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Takes live BP

    Jung (calf) is scheduled to take live batting practice Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    If Jung's strained left calf responds well to Monday's workout, manager Bruce Bochy said that the third baseman could be available to serve as a designated hitter in an "A" game at minor-league camp this weekend. Bochy has previously noted that Jung is trending toward a return to the big club's lineup for either or both of its final two exhibitions next Monday and Tuesday versus the Red Sox. If Jung is able to play the field for either of those contests without incident, he should avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the 2024 season.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Set to play in late exhibitions

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Jung (calf) is expected to play in the team's final two exhibition games March 25 and 26 versus the Red Sox at Globe Life Field, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    If those two games wind up being the only two exhibition contests that Jung plays, it may not be sufficient enough for him to gain clearance for Opening Day on March 28 against the Cubs. However, the Rangers don't appear to have ruled out Jung being ready for the start of the regular season. Jung has been slowed by a left calf strain in camp, and while a recent MRI showed healing, he hasn't yet been cleared for running.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Not ready for running program

    Jung underwent an MRI on Friday that showed improvement in his left calf, but not enough to ramp up his running program, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    While his recovery has been trending in a mostly positive direction, Jung will not be upgraded to full activities anytime soon. He will be working within a tight window to make Opening Day. Jung slashed .266/.315/.467 for 23 home runs and 70 RBI over 515 plate appearances in 2023.

  • Rangers' Josh Jung: Hopes to be cleared for running

    Jung (calf) will undergo an MRI on Friday and hopes to be cleared to resume running soon, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    The third baseman is three weeks removed from a left calf strain. Jung has already been performing all other baseball activities other than running, and if his calf shows sufficient healing, he can progress to full activities. If that happens, a return to game action should be just around the corner, potentially giving him enough time to be ready for Opening Day.
