EDGE Analysis

Jung extended the Rangers' advantage to 2-0 with an RBI single in the first inning and gave Texas the lead in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run homer, his second long ball of the season. The 2019 first-round pick now has a hit in five straight games, including an extra-base knock in three of his last four.

Jung went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Jung launched his first homer of the season to lead off the second inning. His bat was quiet during the Rangers' first two games when the club scored 27 runs, but it was vital in Sunday's low-scoring affair. The third baseman, who had a single and two walks in the first two contests, has crossed the plate four times, which is tied for the team lead.

Jung was involved in a minor car accident on his way to Saturday's Cactus League game against the Angels and has been scratched from the lineup, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jung is not injured, but the Rangers will keep the third baseman out of the lineup as they deal with the logistics of the accident. Assuming everything is ok, the infielder should be back in the lineup in the coming days.

Jung went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's spring game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Jung is 5-for-20 in nine Cactus League games, but the main thing is that he's healthy and playing spring ball. He didn't play in 2020 due to the pandemic, then had a foot injury in 2021 and shoulder surgery in 2022. Jung is taking on the challenge of being the Rangers' starting third baseman, an unsettled position for much of 2022 until he was added to the roster in September.

Jung went 3-for-4 with two home runs, two runs and five RBI in a 5-0 win against the Mariners on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jung was responsible for all five Texas runs Tuesday, connecting on a solo home run in the second inning, RBI-single in the sixth and three-run homer in the eighth to provide valuable insurance. The 24-year-old has recorded multiple hits in each of his last two contests, batting 5-for-8 with a double and two long balls to up his season line to .227/.250/.515 across 16 games. His slugging is propped up by five of his 15 leaving the yard.

Jung snapped an 0-for-19 skid with two hits in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are letting Jung get experience over the final month regardless of the results, which have been a mixed bag. "We're seeing Josh at this level. And it's given us information and we'll just see where that leads to, but he has to see the game with this level and see where he fits in," Texas interim manager Tony Beasley said. A hopeful sign is that seven of Jung's 12 hits have gone for extra bases, but an area to work on is a 28:2 K:BB. The organization's hitting coaches will address the decrease in walks and increase in strikeouts over the winter and into spring training, and the Rangers don't sound overly concerned by the slump in Jung's first exposure to major-league pitching.

Jung went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Jung stole a base after a sixth-inning walk and came home on a Josh Smith two-out single. It was his second steal in 14 games, the last one coming in his debut Sept. 9.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Rangers struggled to generate much offensive production Sunday, Jung performed well with his first multi-hit performance since his major-league debut Sept. 9. The 24-year-old has recorded hits in eight of his first 10 games with the Rangers and has hit .250 with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI, four runs and a stolen base.

Jung started at third base and went 2-for-4 with with a solo home run and stole a base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Jung's contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, and the prospect made a much-anticipated debut. He fulfilled the hype by homering in his first at-bat, mashing a Ross Stripling changeup over the fence in left field at a rate of 102.6 mph, and became just the 12th player in MLB history to hit a homer and steal a base in his debut, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Jung wasn't much of a stolen-base threat in the minors, swiping seven bags over 153 games, and has a 40-grade run tool.
