Josh Jung Hitting Second in Rangers Order Against Yankees
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is hitting second in the batting order for Monday's series opener against the visiting New York Yankees and left-hander Max Fried, according to MLB.com. Jung has been healthy of late and is red-hot at the dish, going 21-for-56 (.375) with four home runs and 13 RBI in his last 15 games for the Rangers. Overall, the oft-injured 28-year-old is batting .308 (28-for-91) with four home runs, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in 25 games played. Jung hasn't been all that great against left-handed pitching so far in 2026, though, going 4-for-22 (.182) against them with one of his four home runs in 24 plate appearances. He'll be facing one of the toughest southpaws in the league on Monday night against Fried, too. Jung's move up in the batting order reflects how hot he's been recently, and fantasy managers in need of corner-infield help should consider adding him off the waiver wire. Jung is rostered in 41% of Yahoo leagues.
