Josh Jung - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Resumes running Monday Jung (calf) did some running Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jung's recovery from a left calf strain has come along more slowly than expected, but he took a big step forward Monday. The third baseman will continue to ramp up his running progression as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks. Jung has been sidelined for nearly two weeks, and it's uncertain whether he'll need some rehab games before being reinstated.

Recovery stalled Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Jung's recovery from a left calf strain has "not trended in the right direction," Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers were hopeful that Jung would be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday, but that's not going to happen. Schumaker noted that Jung's progress, or lack thereof, is "kind of at a standstill right now." With Corey Seager (back) slated to return from the IL on Friday, Ezequiel Duran will shift over from shortstop to handle third base until Jung is ready.

Placed on 10-day injured list The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to a left calf strain.

Impact Jung has been dealing with a left calf injury that he picked up against the White Sox on Tuesday. There was hope that he would be cleared to return to the lineup this weekend, but the injury is severe enough for Jung to warrant a stint on the injured list. The Rangers should have a better sense of Jung's recovery timeline once he undergoes further tests, but given that it's a calf strain, he'll likely be on the IL beyond the 10-day minimum window. Josh Smith was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Could go on IL Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that Jung (calf) was unable to run at full speed prior to Friday's game against Seattle, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Schumaker said the Jung was running at "half-speed"" as a result of a left calf injury that Jung picked up Tuesday against the White Sox. The injury is severe enough that the veteran third basemen may need a stint on the IL, and Wilson suggests that a decision from the Rangers could come as soon as Saturday. Ezequiel Duran is starting at third base Friday and would will continue to see more reps at the hot corner for as long as Jung is sidelined.

Remains out of lineup Jung (calf) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Jung was removed from Tuesday's game versus the White Sox with left calf tightness. He sat out Wednesday and the Rangers had an off day Thursday, but Jung still isn't ready to rejoin the lineup. Ezequiel Duran will again fill in at third base.

Sitting as precaution Wednesday Jung (calf) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base in place of Jung, who was lifted early in Tuesday's 10-0 win due to left calf tightness. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Jung downplayed any concern about the injury, noting that he feels fine and expects to be available off the bench Wednesday. The Rangers will have an off day Thursday, so with two full days of rest on tap, Jung could be ready to start in all three of the team's games against the Mariners this weekend.

Precautionary exit Tuesday Jung said after being removed from Tuesday's game versus the White Sox with left calf tightness that he expects to be OK, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact While the injury looks to be minor, Jung's history of calf issues meant the Rangers were not going to be taking any chances. With the Rangers being idle Thursday, there's a high probability Jung will be held out of Wednesday's lineup. The club could have more information on their third baseman's condition pregame.

Exits early Tuesday Jung was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear what caused Jung to leave the game early, but the Rangers will likely provide an update once they take a closer look at him. If Jung ends up needing to miss additional starts, Nicky Lopez would likely receive the largest increase in playing time.
