Josh Jung - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fighting neck spasms Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Jung is dealing with neck spasms, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jung was held out of the Rangers' lineup Saturday, and it now makes more sense why that was the case. Bochy said that the 27-year-old infielder will need a few days of rest for his neck to calm down while the team treats him, though it remains to be seen if he will end up spending time on the injured list. Josh Smith is set to cover third base Saturday and is likely to continue doing so until Jung returns.

Plays in spring opener Jung started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Friday's spring opener against Kansas City.

Impact Jung had a pair of wrist surgeries in 2024 but enters Cactus League play with no limitations. He hopes this will be the first spring in four seasons that good health is on his side. Jung was delayed last spring due to a calf strain, tore his labrum in camp the previous year and suffered a stress fracture in his left foot the year before that. That doesn't include the fractured thumb he suffered midseason in 2023 and last year's wrist issues. He's been limited to 168 games of the 324 possible regular season games in his first full seasons in the majors. While the fractures can be chalked up to bad luck and Jung may not be considered injury prone, three significant fractures in a four-year window is an issue.

Fully recovered from wrist surgery Jung said Thursday that he's "full-go" after right wrist surgery and doesn't anticipate any restrictions during spring training, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Jung missed most of the first four months of the 2024 season following surgery to repair four fractures in the wrist. He then underwent a follow-up procedure in October to alleviate irritation in the tendon, a procedure which Jung said has made a huge difference. The third baseman has been swinging a bat without issue and appears poised to enter camp next month with a clean bill of health. If he can stay off the injured list, Jung could bounce back in 2025 to the player he was in 2023 when he put up a .781 OPS with 23 home runs.
