Jung briefly tied the game at 3-3 with his sixth-inning home run. It extended the third baseman's hit streak to seven games and gave him four RBI over the last three contests. The home run was the 10th of the season for Jung, who has had a couple of rocky seasons since emerging as a rookie in 2023. A wrist injury derailed him in 2024, while a June swoon (.429 OPS) resulted in a trip back to the minors for a stretch this season.

Jung went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Jung was summoned from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and started at third base while batting eighth upon his return. The 27-year-old excelled in his first game back with the big club, reaching base in all three of his plate appearances and belting a solo shot in the third inning to start the scoring.

EDGE Analysis

Jung posted a weak .635 OPS at Round Rock after being sent down earlier this month, though he had slugged home runs in two of his last three games. He should get another chance to be the Rangers' primary third baseman, with Josh Smith shifting over to first base and Rowdy Tellez being used at designated hitter. Jung has slashed a disappointing .237/.283/.366 in the majors this season.

The Rangers optioned Jung to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jung slashed just .158/.208/.221 in June to drop his season batting line to .237/.283/.366. The Rangers will let him work on his swing in a less pressurized environment, with the goal of Jung regaining his job as the primary third baseman later this season. Super-utility player Josh Smith as well as Ezequiel Duran are the best bets to receive playing time at third base while Jung is in the minors.

Jung isn't in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.

While the 27-year-old is on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran has the start at the hot corner and is batting eighth.
