Swipes two bags in win Jung went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Jung stole second base in the fifth inning and then swiped third base in the seventh. It was his first career game with multiple stolen bases, which is no surprise since he entered Thursday's game with only four career steals. The multi-hit game was good to see as well, as Jung had gone 5-for-30 over his last eight games. The 26-year-old is hitting .228 in 26 games since his return from injury late in July.

Playing through laceration Jung is serving as Texas' designated hitter for Sunday's game at Cleveland due to a finger laceration, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was initially penciled in at third base Sunday, but he'll instead fill a non-defensive role since the laceration affects his ability to throw. Jung will have Monday's team off day to rest up and is expected to be fully cleared for Tuesday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Provides two key hits in win Jung went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Impact Jung put the Rangers ahead for the first time with a seventh-inning solo shot. That lead didn't hold, but he added a single in the 10th inning that forced an error and led to the winning run scoring. Jung has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 11-for-43 (.256) in that span, though his homer was his first since Aug. 4. The third baseman is slashing .274/.295/.476 with four homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored, three doubles, a triple and one stolen base over 21 contests this season.

Impact Jung had two of the Rangers' three hits in the game, including a solo shot off Nick Pivetta in the second inning. This was Jung's first multi-hit effort since returning from right wrist surgery. He's gone 4-for-17 (.235) over five games since his return. For the year, he's batting .324 with three homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base across nine contests, but it looks like he's still finding his timing at the plate after a long absence.

Returns from IL The Rangers reinstated Jung (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Though Jung isn't in the lineup for Monday's series opener in St. Louis, he finally looks to be back to full health after undergoing right wrist surgery in early April. Jung was pulled off his rehab assignment in late June after experienced renewed soreness in the wrist, but he checked out fine after playing in three games at Double-A Frisco over the weekend while going 4-for-10 with a double and two RBI. Look for Jung to return to Texas' lineup Tuesday and settle back in as the club's everyday third baseman.

Resumes rehab assignment Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Jung (wrist) is "doing great" after playing rehab games for Double-A Frisco on Friday and Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Jung, who had his original rehab assignment paused in June, restarted it over the weekend, going 2-for-7 in the two games. The Rangers will evaluate the injured third baseman Monday, at which point the club will determine next steps. Options include playing another rehab series in Triple-A or a return to the major-league club.

Resuming rehab assignment Friday Jung (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment Friday at Double-A Frisco, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jung had previously played in four rehab games with Triple-A Round Rock from June 16 through 20, only to be pulled off the minor-league assignment when he experienced renewed soreness in his surgically repaired wrist. Just over a month later, Jung is ready for game action again after he was able to make quick progress through his hitting progression over the past week. He'll presumably remain on his rehab assignment at least through the weekend before the Rangers assess whether he's ready to return from the 60-day injured list. Jung should eventually settle back in as the Rangers' everyday third baseman, but he could be eased back from the IL as a designated hitter initially.

Close to taking BP Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Jung (wrist) is close to facing live pitching, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Jung has been hitting off a tee and taking swings against soft-toss pitching for the last week, with Bochy noting that the 28-year-old third baseman "looks good," while adding that "the strength is back" in his wrist. If Jung's wrist responds well once he takes part in live BP, he would likely then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Jung may still have a chance to make it back from the 60-day injured list before the end of the month, though an early August return might be more realistic.

Swings off tee Sunday Jung (wrist) said he took 15 swings with a regular bat off a tee Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Jung admitted that he's not certain of his next step, but the 26-year-old plans to continue swinging the bat over the All-Star break this week. If Jung incurs no setbacks with his surgically repaired right wrist while doing so, the Rangers could then map out a minor-league rehab assignment coming out of the break. Jung previously appeared in four rehab games in June and looked to be on the cusp of returning from the 60-day injured list before experiencing inflammation in his wrist and having his activation date pushed back.
