Jung went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and two additional runs scored during Texas' 10-0 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jung was one of three Rangers batters to go long Saturday, with his two-run shot in the third extending Texas' lead to 5-0. Jung's recent struggles at the plate has led to reduced playing time as of late, but Saturday's outing could be the kind of performance he needs to break out of his slump.

Jung is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

After starting at third base and going 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win while lefty Noah Cameron was on the hill for Kansas City, the right-handed-hitting Jung will head back to the bench as the Royals send righty Michael Lorenzen to the bump for the series finale. Jung has now been held out of the lineup for four straight matchups versus righties and looks to have moved into a platoon role after slashing just .163/.217/.279 so far in August. Cody Freeman will draw the start at the hot corner Thursday, but super-utility player Josh Smith is more likely to occupy the strong side of a platoon at third base with Jung once right fielder Adolis Garcia (ankle) returns from the injured list.

Jung started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Jung returned to the starting lineup after getting a three-game break, but his night ended after five innings. Josh Smith entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth against right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke. It looked like a brief July stint in the minors had straightened out Jung, who went 13-for-34 (.382) with four walks, three home runs, eight RBI and eight runs scored over his first 11 games back in the majors. Since then, however, the third baseman is batting .128 with two walks and two RBI over 12 games.

Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third straight game on the bench for Jung, who has a .179/.238/.308 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in August. Josh Smith will instead man third base while Rowdy Tellez receives another start at first.

Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight day Jung has been out of the lineup, though he did appear as a pinch hitter in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. Jung is in a 5-for-35 drought at the dish and will once again yield the hot corner to Cody Freeman.

Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Jung will hit the bench after starting the Rangers' last nine games and going 5-for-34 (.147) with a 2:11 BB:K. The freshly recalled Cody Freeman will replace Jung at third base and bat eighth.

Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jung returned to the lineup at designated hitter and hit a walk-off home run in the Rangers' win over the Yankees on Monday. However, he's not quite ready to play the field yet after missing four games with a calf issue, so Jung will yield DH duties Tuesday to Joc Pederson.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After missing each of Texas' prior four games with a sore calf, Jung played the role of hero with a walk-off jack in his return Monday. It's been a disappointing campaign for Jung -- he has a .697 OPS in 2025 -- but he's begun to find a groove at the dish since the Rangers recalled him from the minor leagues. The third baseman is riding a 10-game hitting streak since returning from Triple-A Round Rock, during which he's slashing .382/.447/.647 with three homers and eight RBI covering 38 plate appearances.

Jung (calf) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jung missed each of the previous four contests with a sore calf, but he's feeling well enough to at least serve as a hitter in Monday's series opener. The 27-year-old is slashing .367/.424/.567 with two home runs in nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on July 21.

Jung (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Jung finds himself on the bench for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage calf soreness. Josh Smith will pick up another start at the hot corner, opening up first base for Rowdy Tellez.
