Josh Jung - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Plates lone run in loss Jung went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Jung, who had a six-game RBI streak snapped Thursday, got back on it Friday, delivering a two-out ground-rule double to plate the Rangers' lone run in the fourth inning. He immediately stole third base -- his first steal of the season -- but was stranded there. Since a two-game absence attributed to being banged up, Jung has hit safely in 12 of 14 contests, going 19-for-51 (.373) with 12 extra-base hits (three home runs), 11 RBI and nine runs.

Extends RBI streak in loss Jung went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Jung gave Texas an early lead with a two-run homer in the second inning, his third of the season. The homer also extended an RBI streak to six contests, during which the third baseman is 11-for-24 (.458) with eight extra-base hits and eight RBI. He's turned around a slow start to the season but maintaining that level of production over longer stretches has been elusive for Jung the last two years.

Crosses .300 mark Jung went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Seattle.

Impact Jung launched his second home run in three games and recorded at least one RBI while recording multiple hits in all three contests. He spent the first nine games of the season below .200 but inflated his average to .303 in the subsequent nine games.

Three doubles in win Jung went 3-for-5 with three doubles and one RBI in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.

The third baseman has four multi-hit efforts over his last nine games. Jung is now hitting .290 on the year with a .795 OPS, one home run, six RBI, six runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 17 contests.

Moves up order Jung batted fourth and went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.

Impact Jung had a two-run home run in the seventh inning and scored the go-ahead run in the ninth. He's slowly inched up the batting order since returning from a two-game absence attributed to being banged up. In his seven games back, Jung batted ninth, then eighth, then sixth and finally cleanup. He had four hard-hit balls Thursday and lives in the 80th percentile (50 percent) in that category. Putting him higher in the order could lead to more RBI opportunities; Jung entered Thursday with the just three runs driven in over 15 games played.

Extends hit streak Jung went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Jung extended a hit streak to five games with an eighth-inning double that drove in the Rangers' final two runs.

Since rejoining the starting nine, Jung is 5-fort-13 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs over the last four contests.

Shohei Ohtani's Leadoff Homer, Teoscar's 3-Run Shot Propels Dodgers Over Rangers

Back in starting nine Jung (undisclosed) will start at third base and bat ninth Friday against the Dodgers.

Impact The Rangers kept Jung on the bench for each of their last two games to give him time to recover after manager Skip Schumaker said the 28-year-old had been "a little banged up." Now seemingly healthy, he'll look to stay hot after going 6-for-15 at the plate across his last five games.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining on bench Wednesday Jung (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Jung will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with manager Skip Schumaker noting Tuesday that the 28-year-old is "a little banged up." Ezequiel Duran will pick up another start at third base in his stead, but Jung is expected to be available to play, if needed.
