Josh Jung Expected to Play in a Minor-League Game This Weekend
MLB.com reports that Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung's recovery from a groin injury has "been a little slower than initially expected." However, Jung was able to take ground balls on Friday and is expected to play in a minor-league game this weekend. The 28-year-old oft-injured third baseman hasn't appeared in a Cactus League game since Feb. 24. The former eighth overall pick out of Texas Tech in 2019 still has around two weeks to get fully back up to speed before the start of the 2026 regular season. Jung was an All-Star in 2023 in his first full year in the majors, slashing .266/.315/.467 with a .781 OPS, 23 home runs, 70 RBI, and 75 runs scored in 515 plate appearances and 122 games. He has clear 30-homer upside in Texas, but he's also among the biggest injury risks at the third base position, which makes him only RotoBaller's No. 34 fantasy third baseman. Jung's 131 games played last year were a career high.
