The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Jung was recalled from Toledo last week after Colt Keith (ribs) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This time, Justyn-Henry Malloy is taking Jung's spot on the 26-man roster. Jung has appeared in 21 games for the Tigers this season, slashing .106/.236/.106 with zero extra-base hits, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 7:16 BB:K across 55 trips to the plate.

The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Jung went just 5-for-45 at the plate since being promoted in late April, and his playing time of late has been inconsistent. Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez should handle third base duties for the Tigers, at least until Matt Vierling (shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list.

Jung is starting at third base and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. After starting three straight games, Jung got Monday off, but he'll return to the lineup a day later. The 24-year-old is starting to emerge as Detroit's top option at the hot corner, at least against righties. The eventual return of Matt Vierling (shoulder) could squeeze Jung a bit, though he should maintain a regular role for now.

Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox. Right-hander Tanner Houck is on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Jung will grab a seat after starting each of the last three games against righties. Zach McKinstry will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth for the Tigers in the series opener.
