Josh Jung Diagnosed With Left-Hand Contusion
2 years agoTexas Rangers rookie third baseman Josh Jung (hand) left Wednesday's game early against the Cincinnati Reds in the top of the third inning after he was hit by a pitch, but he was diagnosed with a left-hand contusion after X-rays for a fracture came back negative. The 25-year-old dodged a bullet here, and fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day moving forward. There's a chance he'll be back in the starting lineup on Thursday. Jung was replaced at the hot corner by Ezequiel Duran on Wednesday. Jung didn't officially have a plate appearance before leaving, so he's still hitting .281 (25-for-89) with four doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and a stolen base in 95 plate appearances over his first 22 games in his first full season with the Rangers.
