Josh Jung Making Strides In Recovery
9 months agoTexas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) is about "two to three weeks" from returning to game action, per manager Bruce Bochy. The 25-year-old's cast on his fractured left thumb was removed on Aug. 21 and he's been handling one-handed swings in the batting cage recently. Jung is going to need some rehab action before being activated, so redraft fantasy managers may only be able to get very little out of him depending on when their league's playoffs begin. The Rangers offense has struggled a bit lately, so they'll welcome the rookie All-Star back with open arms for their postseason push later this month. Jung was hitting .274 with an .813 OPS, 22 home runs, 24 doubles, 67 RBI, and 70 runs scored in 427 at-bats before going down.
