Jung (neck) fielded grounders prior to Friday's game, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung has also done some hitting as he works his way back from neck spasms, and he's set to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Saturday, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Jung is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and he has a good shot to return that day. Josh Smith has been the primary third baseman for the Rangers since Jung was shelved.

The Rangers placed Jung (neck) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung battled neck stiffness late in spring training, but he was cleared ahead of Opening Day and started in the Rangers' first two games, going 3-for-7 with an RBI. However, he was held out of the lineup for Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox after the neck spasms cropped up again, and the Rangers have now decided to shut Jung down for a bit. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, manager Bruce Bochy said that he's hoping Jung will need only a minimum-length stay on the shelf, so the 27-year-old third baseman could be back in action as soon as April 8.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Jung is dealing with neck spasms, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jung was held out of the Rangers' lineup Saturday and Bochy said that the 27-year-old infielder will need a few days of rest for his neck to calm down while the team treats him, though it remains to be seen if he will end up spending time on the injured list. Josh Smith is set to cover third base Saturday and is likely to continue doing so until Jung returns.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers scratched Jung (neck) from the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Jung was initially slated to start at third base and bat fifth in the Rangers' spring finale, but he'll instead get more time to recuperate after he was pulled from Monday's game against the Royals due to neck stiffness. The decision to scratch him from Tuesday's contest seems to be precautionary, as Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young expressed confidence that Jung will be back in the lineup for Thursday's season opener versus the Red Sox, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
