Josh Jung has injured shoulder

Josh Jung, the Texas Rangers third baseman and the team’s first round pick in 2019, has been diagnosed with a labral strain in his left shoulder, per the beats. He reportedly had discomfort when lifting weights, with an examination indicating the strain. He will be evaluated next week, and there’s no time frame on when he will be ready as of now.

The good news, such as it is, is that this is Jung’s non-throwing shoulder. The bad news is shoulder injuries — particularly labrum injuries — can be serious, and Jung could miss a significant period of time.
