Jung took batting practice Thursday while wearing a padded guard on his left hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung is out of Thursday's lineup after being hit in the hand Wednesday. He avoided structural damage and is expected to avoid a long-term absence, and his activity Thursday supported a quick return. Grant did note that Jung will wear the guard until all of the discomfort in his hand subsides.

Jung (hand) is absent from the Rangers' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jung had to be removed from Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati after being hit in the left hand. He avoided any fractures and is expected to be fine, but the youngster is surely still sore, so he'll get a little down time. Ezequiel Duran is at third base Thursday.

Jung was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after exiting Wednesday's game against the Reds in the top of the third inning, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung picked up the injury in question during his first at-bat of the day in the top of the second, when he was hit by a pitch. He was able to take his base and then played the field for the next half inning, only to exit the contest when his next turn came up in the batting order. Fortunately for Jung, preliminary X-rays have ruled out any structural damage to his hand, but he should still be viewed as day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately for Jung, the injury is to his non-dominant hand, but he should be considered day-to-day in any case until the Rangers provide an update. Ezequiel Duran entered the game as a pinch hitter to replace Jung, who entered Tuesday having slugged three home runs with 11 RBI in his last 11 games. He had struck out at a 42.9 percent clip during that stretch, however.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 loss against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Jung tied the game at 1-1 in the second with a solo shot and extended the Rangers' lead to 5-1 in the third with a two-run blast. Through 21 games (91 plate appearances), Jung is slashing .282/.330/.494 with five home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and one stolen base. This was Jung's seventh multi-hit game in April so far.

Jung went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 18-3 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Jung went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Jung reached in the second on an infield hit and then walked in the fourth. He wound up swiping second for his first steal of the year and eventually came around to score. The 2019 first-round pick is living up to the billing early on in the season, slashing .288/.333/.492 with three home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs. He's also working on a seven-game hitting streak.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Jung, who normally bats fifth, slid up to cleanup, as Adolis Garcia was given the night off. The move paid immediate dividends in the first inning when Jung hit his third home run of the season, giving Texas an early lead it would not relinquish. The 25-year-old third baseman has a six-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 12 of 15 to start the season.

Jung went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Jung was back at third base after getting a day off Monday. The 25-year-old has hit safely in seven of 10 games while posting a .263/.333/.474 line with two home runs, two doubles, five RBI and seven runs. Third base was a black hole for the Rangers in 2022, but that has not been the case early on this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jung will be on the bench for the first time all season, opening up third base for Josh Smith. While starting in each of Texas' first nine games, Jung has hit .229 with two home runs, five RBI and five runs while striking out at a manageable 24.3 percent clip.
