Rangers lose Josh Jung to IL with calf strain

Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Player Stats

Rangers placed 3B Josh Jung on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 22, with a left calf strain.

Despite receiving some addition rest earlier this week, Jung’s left calf never improved to the point that the Rangers felt comfortable putting him back in a game situation. The 28-year-old will get a few extra days off to hopefully put the issue to bed. It doesn’t seem like he’ll require a lengthy absence and should be ready to return at some point in early August.

Josh Jung was only able to run at half-speed on his sore calf while working out prior to Friday’s game.

The Rangers thought Wednesday that Jung might be ready to play tonight, but now an IL stint seems possible. A decision on that will likely come Saturday. If Jung goes on the IL, the Rangers will likely bring back Josh Smith.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung (calf) was held out of the Rangers’ starting lineup for the second consecutive game on Friday night.

Jung was pulled from Tuesday’s battle against the White Sox due to tightness in his left calf and hasn’t played since. There haven’t been rumblings about the oft-injured third baseman requiring a trip to the injured list just yet, but if this lingers for another couple of days the Rangers may be forced to rethink that. Ezequiel Duran will start in his place at third base and bat third for the Rangers against Mariners’ right-hander Bryce Miller.

Josh Jung (calf) is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the White Sox.

There’s zero reason for the Rangers to rush Jung back with Thursday’s off-day looming. It’ll be Ezequiel Duran taking over at the hot corner after Jung made a precautionary exit from Tuesday’s game with left calf tightness. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against Seattle.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung was removed from Tuesday’s game against the White Sox with left calf tightness.

Jung didn’t look 100 percent while going from first-to-third on a third-inning single by Brandon Nimmo, which led to his early exit from the contest. It doesn’t sound like a potential injured list situation, but it might be too early to make that call. There should be some clarity on his status heading into Wednesday’s series finale.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung made an early exit from Tuesday’s game against the White Sox with a possible injury.

Jung was replaced by Nicky Lopez at the hot corner shortly after coming around to score following a third-inning single. He finished 1-for-2 at the plate. There should be an update on his status shortly.
Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung is at third base and hitting third on Saturday against the Astros.

Jung has gone 2-for-7 with three runs scored in a pair of games after missing three contests earlier this week due to right knee soreness. It doesn’t appear to be a concern heading into the All-Star break.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung (knee) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Angels.

Jung takes a seat for the third consecutive contest due to an ongoing right knee issue. It’s within the realm of possibility that he’ll require a trip to the injured list, but the Rangers are probably going to ride it out for the remainder of the week with the All-Star break on the horizon. It’ll be Ezequiel Duran filling in at the hot corner for the third straight game.

Josh Jung (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Angels.

Jung remains out of the Rangers lineup for the second straight contest due to right knee soreness. It doesn’t sound like a potential injured list situation, but the fact that he’s not back following a couple days of extra rest is mildly concerning. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. It’ll be versatile Ezequiel Duran filling in at the hot corner in his absence.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to right knee soreness.

Jung was going to try to give it a go but tested his knee out on the field before the game and ultimately the decision was made to give him the afternoon off. It’s possible that he could be available in a pinch-hit situation. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and bat cleanup against Tigers’ right-hander Casey Mize.

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s matchup against the Blue Jays.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 28-year-old slugger. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and will bat sixth for the Rangers against Blue Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman.

Xander Bogaerts is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Marlins in Miami.

The 33-year-old infielder is mired in an extended slump at the plate, so giving him a day or two off to clear his head wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. Sung-Mun Song will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth for the Padres against Janson Junk and the Marlins on Sunday afternoon.

Luis Robert Jr. is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers.

It’s the second time this week that Robert has found himself on the bench as the Mets ease him back into a full-time workload following a lengthy stay on the injured list. A.J. Ewing will slide over and cover center field while Tyrone Taylor starts in left field and will bat seventh for the Mets against Dodgers’ right-hander Emmet Sheehan.

Nationals recalled INF Brady House from Triple-A Rochester.

With Curtis Mead dealt to the Red Sox early Sunday morning, House will get another opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. The 23-year-old slugger has slashed a paltry .227/.282/.399 with seven homers and 25 RBI in 177 plate appearances with the Nationals this season. He remains an underwhelming option for fantasy purposes.

Twins placed RHP Mike Paredes on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 23, with a left oblique strain.

Paredes was scratched from his scheduled start against the Athletics on Saturday due to the injury, so it’s not surprising to see him wind up on the injured list. He’ll miss at least a couple of weeks while recovering. Connor Prielipp was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Twins optioned RHP Jack Anderson to Triple-A St. Paul.

The Twins needed to clear a spot in their bullpen for the return of Cole Sands (forearm) on Sunday and Anderson happened to be the odd man out this time around. The 26-year-old hurler fired 3 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball with a 0.60 WHIP and a 4/1 K/BB ratio in his three appearances with the Twins. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another shot with the big league club.
