Josh Jung (finger) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics.
Jung is back at third base and batting sixth for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field following an early exit from Sunday’s showdown against the Giants with a right finger laceration. The fact that he’s already back in the lineup seems to indicate that the Rangers aren’t too concerned, which has to give fantasy managers confidence ahead of weekly lineup locks.
Josh Jung was removed from Sunday’s game against the Giants due to a lacerated right index finger.
Jung reportedly sustained the injury on a swing in which he shattered his bat, then he appeared to open the wound further while making a bare-handed play in the field. It doesn’t seem like the type of injury that should lead to an extended absence, but with Jung you can never be too sure. Expect the Rangers to provide an update on his status after the game.
Josh Jung hit a solo homer in a loss to the Athletics on Thursday.
Josh Jung hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs in a loss Friday to the Mariners.
Jung got the Rangers on the board with an RBI single and then blasted a two-run shot off Trent Thornton in the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. That’s the first homer of the season, but Jung has been scorching hot since coming off the injured list and is hitting a robust .474/.474/.842.
