Impact Jung had last played July 21 versus the White Sox before he was shelved by a calf strain. The injury put a damper on what was shaping up be a strong season for the third baseman. Through 93 contests, Jung is batting .295 with an .802 OPS, nine home runs, 36 RBI, 47 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and one stolen base.

Returns from injured list The Rangers reinstated Jung (calf) from the injured list Saturday.

Impact Jung has been sidelined for almost all of the second half due to a left calf strain, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday and has since gone 3-for-15 with a homer and two total RBI in four games. Now fully healthy, he figures to reclaim his job as Texas' everyday third baseman. Logan O'Hoppe was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Opens rehab assignment Jung (calf) went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Impact Jung opened a rehab assignment with the Express and played all nine innings as the designated hitter. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that there's a plan for Jung's rehab but that could change depending on how quickly he responds to activity. With 17 games left in the regular season and Texas 1.5 games back of a wild-card spot, the Rangers might be better served to activate Jung sooner rather than later.

Impact Jung did some running Monday and said afterward that it went well, though it seems he's still not quite 100 percent with his running at this point. He will continue to ramp things up this week, with the goal of playing in rehab games by the weekend if all goes well. Jung has been sidelined for more than a month with a left calf strain.

Resumes jogging, but timeline unclear Jung (calf) resumed jogging Aug. 18 and has also taken part in defensive drills, MLB.com reports.

Impact Jung took a break from baseball activities for about 10 days earlier this month after he had been stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from a left calf strain, but he seems to have turned a corner over the past week. A recent MRI revealed continued healing in his calf, but he's not yet 100 percent and will likely be eased along slowly in his rehab program. Jung will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, but he won't be cleared to report to an affiliate until he resumes facing live pitching and running the bases at full speed.
