Set for major-league debut Friday The Tigers are set to promote Jung from Triple-A Toledo, and he is expected to make his major-league debut Friday against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press report...

Impact The 2022 No. 12 overall pick started the season with Toledo, where he is slashing .257/.377.454 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI across 414 plate appearances. Jung began his transition from second base to third in the Arizona Fall League last season, and he could be utilized in both positions with Detroit, per Petzold. Jung's first dose of major-league pitching will be a tough one, as he is slated to go up against Yankees' ace Gerrit Cole.

Rolling for Whitecaps Jung is slashing .283/.406/.551 with eight home runs, four steals and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 38 games for High-A West Michigan.

Impact The Texas Tech product didn't get off to the greatest start in the cold weather of the Midwest League, but he has heated up as the season has progressed and could soon be looking at a promotion to Double-A. Known as a bat-first prospect with a questionable defensive home, Jung has played exclusively at second base thus far.
