Impact Jung, who rehabbed at the Rangers' complex in Arizona this weekend, faced live pitching and played three innings on Saturday. He'll fly back to Texas on Sunday, rejoin the club on Monday and be further evaluated.

Impact There was some hope that Jung would be ready to return for the Rangers' three-game weekend series in Cleveland, but he still has a couple of small hurdles to clear in his recovery from Aug. 9 surgery to repair a fracture in his left thumb. Josh Smith and Jonathan Ornelas have been sharing time at third base for Texas over the last week.

Nearing return Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Jung (thumb) could return as early as next week's series against Cleveland beginning Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Bochy witnessed Jung taking batting practice earlier this week and was impressed. "I saw him in the cage, swinging a bat, and I went, 'Whoa,'" Bochy said prior to Friday's game. "We all were shocked -- our trainer, our hitting guys." If Jung returns next Friday, that would be beat the original six-week timeline.

Hoping to take swings this week Jung (thumb) is hoping to take dry swings before the end of this week, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Jung has been taking one-handed swings in the batting cage and on Monday fielded some grounders. He's at least a couple weeks away from game action and is expected to need some rehab at-bats, so Jung isn't going to have much runway for regular season contests. He's been out since early August with a left thumb fracture.

Making progress Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Jung (thumb) is two to three weeks away from returning to game action, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Jung, who had a plate and pins installed in his left thumb in early August, has started taking one-handed swings in the batting cage. Bochy said Jung will require rehab at-bats, which could push out his return to the final week of the regular season.
