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 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 not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With Jung working through calf soreness, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Rowdy Tellez starts at first. Jung is on a nine-game hitting streak since the All-Star break, going 11-for-30 (.367) with six runs, two homers and five RBI over that span.

Jung is out of Thursday's lineup against the Mariners due to calf soreness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds as if the Rangers are taking a cautious approach with Jung, and he may be out for a longer portion of the team's weekend series against the Mariners. He is not expected to require a stint on the injured list for the time being, however. Rowdy Tellez entered the lineup at first base in Jung's absence, while Josh Smith shifted to third base.
