Rangers' Josh Jung: Productive since return
Jung went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against Kansas City.
Jung has wielded a potent bat since his return Monday after missing a little more than two weeks with an adductor strain. After a triple and run scored Monday, the third baseman added three more hits and belted his first Cactus League home run (417 feet). Texas manager Skip Schumaker believes there's still enough runway left for Jung to be ready for Opening Day, per Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Back in lineup Monday
Jung (adductor) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.
Jung hadn't played at any point in March while recovering from an adductor strain, but he's made enough progress in recent days to make his return to the Rangers' spring lineup. With 10 more days to go before Opening Day, expect Jung to get plenty of at-bats over the upcoming week.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Still not ready for games
Jung (groin) remained out of the Rangers' Cactus League lineup Thursday against the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jung had been targeting Thursday for his return to action after missing the past two weeks with a Grade 1 adductor strain, but he's not quite ready yet. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday of Jung's injury that "it wasn't just progressing like we hoped," but the third baseman could be ready for games in "a couple of days." Schumaker remains "optimistic" about Jung's availability for Opening Day, but the 28-year-old can't afford to be delayed any further.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Targeting return Thursday
Jung (groin) ran the bases Tuesday and is hoping to return to Cactus League play Thursday versus the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jung has been shelved since late February after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 adductor strain. When coming back from a leg injury, running the bases is typically the final hurdle one needs to clear, so Jung appears to be in a good spot to return to action and avoid a stint on the injured list. If healthy, Jung is expected to open the season as the Rangers' primary third baseman.

Thursday marked the first time Jung had done any work in the field since being diagnosed with a Grade 1 adductor strain Saturday. The Rangers don't have a timeline in place for the 28-year-old third baseman, but there's a decent chance he returns in time for Opening Day.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Diagnosed with Grade 1 strain
Jung was diagnosed with a Grade 1 adductor strain Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Jung had been expected to resume playing in Cactus League games this weekend, but he will now be shut down for roughly 10 days following the results of his tests. Assuming the Rangers don't receive any more unexpected news, the 28-year-old still could have enough time to make a full recovery before Opening Day.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Day-to-day with hamstring tightness
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Jung is dealing with "a little something" in his hamstring and is day-to-day, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Schumaker said Jung would likely be back in the lineup for Friday's Cactus League matchup with the White Sox. With Jung idle Thursday, Ezequiel Duran is making the start at third base. Jung appeared in 131 regular-season games last season and slashed .251/.294/.390 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 53 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 27:129 BB:K across 511 trips to the plate.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Contract official for 2026
Jung agreed to a one-year contract with the Rangers on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but Jung was estimated to make about $2.4 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility, according to Spotrac.com. The third baseman played a career-high 131 games last season, but he scuffled to a .251/.294/.390 slash line while hitting just 14 home runs.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Goes yard Monday
Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.
This was Jung's first homer over 13 games in September, and he's batting just .184 (9-for-49) this month. The third baseman's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning. Jung had six multi-hit efforts over his last eight contests in August, so the slowdown in September is discouraging. He's at a .251/.294/.394 slash line with 14 homers, 57 RBI, 48 runs scored and four stolen bases over 120 games this season.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Keeps raking
Jung went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Jung has a hit in eight consecutive games and has notched multiple hits six times during that stretch. He's recorded two homers along with three doubles and is 17-for-34 (.500) across those eight games. The third baseman endured a 5-for-43 (.116) slump immediately before catching fire.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Stays hot with three more hits
Jung went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.
Jung delivered RBI doubles in the third and seventh innings. The third baseman has rattled off three straight three-hit games, and he's batting .517 (15-for-29) during his seven-game hitting streak. He's up to a .257/.302/.395 slash line, 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 doubles and four stolen bases over 106 contests this season, and his recent strong play should keep him locked into a starting role.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Another three-hit effort
Jung went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Jung has hit safely in six straight games, and four of those have been multi-hit efforts. He's starting to turn things around after struggling for most of August -- even with the recent surge, he's batting a modest .268 (19-for-71) over 22 contests this month. On the season, he's at a .253/.299/.387 slash line with 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 40 runs scored and four stolen bases through 105 games.
