Jung exited Wednesday's game against the Reds after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
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 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.

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.
