Jung will have his fractured right wrist examined Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Progress on Jung's healing will be evaluated, and the hope is that he will get a better idea during the exam as to what a potential timeline for a return could look like. Jung had surgery on the wrist in early April, and the rough timetable provided at the time was 8-to-10 weeks.

Jung (wrist) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jung is expected to miss the next 8-to-10 weeks while on the mend from a broken right wrist, so this move simply clears a spot on the 40-man roster while he rehabs. Jung could return to action by the end of May if all goes according to plan.

Rangers general manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Jung will likely be sidelined 8-to-10 weeks after more extensive damage than expected was found during surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured right wrist, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung's initial timetable was estimated at six weeks following X-rays on the wrist, but unfortunately, he'll require more recovery time following a procedure that was more invasive than anticipated. The third baseman likely won't return until late May now in a best-case scenario and will be a candidate to move to the 60-day injured list at some point down the road. Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran have both received a start at third base since Jung went down with the injury, and Justin Foscue is also an option at the hot corner.

Rangers general manager Chris Young said that Jung will be sidelined for six weeks after having surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured right wrist, Stefan Stevenson of SI FanNation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch Monday and the surgery was performed by the same doctor who repaired his fractured thumb last August. Josh Smith received the first start at third base in Jung's place Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix at the hot corner.

Jung was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rangers on Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung suffered the unfortunate injury when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Rays. There is no timetable for the 26-year-old's return at this point, but he will certainly be on the shelf for several weeks. Josh Smith is getting the first shot to fill in at third base for Jung on Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix.

Jung has been diagnosed with a fractured right wrist, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is tough news for Jung and the Rangers after the 28-year-old missed time down the stretch of the 2023 season while rehabbing from a fractured left thumb that required surgery. It's too early for the club to provide a timetable for his return, but he figures to miss the rest of April and likely a good part of May, meaning significant playing time for Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith at third base.

Jung left Monday's game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The location and extent of Jung's injury are unclear. Ezequiel Duran would be in line for work at the hot corner if Jung is forced to miss additional time.

Jung went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Jung provided cushion with a two-run blast that was part of the Rangers' six-run eighth inning. He's played in two straight games after making just eight plate appearances during spring training due to a calf injury.

Jung started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's exhibition game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jung, who missed much of the Cactus League with a calf issue, increased his activity following Sunday's spring debut. After playing three innings and getting two at-bats Sunday, Jung was in the field for six innings and had three at-bats Monday. He's expected to play Tuesday, when these same two teams meet, and could be in line for a full nine innings.

Jung started at third base and went 1-for-2 in Saturday's spring game against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Jung made his spring debut after straining his calf during infield drills in February. He participated in baseball activities recently, including a stint as a DH in a minor-league game, and the Rangers were optimistic about Jung being able to compete in a Cactus League game. He played three innings in the field before being replaced by Matt Duffy. Following an off day Sunday, Jung is expected to play both exhibition games against the Red Sox on Monday and Tuesday, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.
