Jung (finger) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jung exited early in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Giants after sustaining a cut on his index finger, but after receiving treatment for the injury, he looks like he'll be ready to go for the series opener versus the Athletics. The 27-year-old heads into Monday's contest with a five-game hitting streak.

Jung exited Sunday's contest against the Giants in the fifth inning with a cut on his index finger, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung was forced to leave the game ahead of the bottom of the fifth frame, though it's unclear when he suffered the finger injury. After his departure, Josh Smith moved over to third base while Nick Ahmed entered the lineup at shortstop. Jung's day came to an end after going 1-for-2 at the plate.

Jung went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Jung has hit safely in four straight games, going 5-for-15 (.333) with a walk, a home run, a double and a steal in that span. The third baseman was caught stealing in Friday's game versus the Giants before successfully recording his second theft of the year Saturday. Overall, he's hitting .275 with a .760 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, six runs scored, two steals, five doubles and a triple over 71 plate appearances. Jung is looking no worse for wear after missing a short stint on the injured list due to neck spasms early in the season.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jung snapped a 10-game homer drought with a fourth-inning shot off Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn. While Jung posted four multi-hit efforts in his first six outings of the year, he's cooled off considerably since then. The third baseman is hitting just .128 (5-for-39) with two doubles and two runs scored across his last 10 contests, but Jung should still see plenty of RBI opportunities as long as he's functioning from the heart of Texas' lineup.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

After scratching a run across on a popup in the fourth inning, Jung hit another one with a bit more authority in the form of a game-tying two-run homer off Mariners right-hander Trent Thornton in the sixth frame that just snuck over the right-field wall. While Jung hasn't yet drawn a walk across 19 at-bats, he's batting a scorching .474 with the aforementioned long ball, two doubles, one triple and six RBI through five outings so far. The former top prospect should be rostered in the majority of mixed fantasy leagues.

Jung went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

In his return to the lineup after missing time with neck spasms, Jung picked up right where he left off with a multi-hit effort. The former top prospect is off to an outstanding start at the plate in the early going, having gone 6-for-11 with two extra-base hits and two RBI over three appearances to begin the year.

Texas activated Jung (neck) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jung appears to be over his neck spasms and is ready to return to the lineup after a rehab stint at Double-A Frisco. Jung went 3-for-7 at the plate with one RBI to begin the season before going down with the neck issue. In order to make room for Jung on the 26-man roster, the Rangers optioned Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A Round Rock.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Jung (neck) is scheduled to be activated from the 10-day injured list and start at third base Tuesday against the Cubs, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung (neck) went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI single in a rehab appearance with Double-A Frisco on Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Jung (neck) fielded grounders prior to Friday's game, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung has also done some hitting as he works his way back from neck spasms, and he's set to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Saturday, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Jung is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and he has a good shot to return that day. Josh Smith has been the primary third baseman for the Rangers since Jung was shelved.
