Josh Jung had labrum surgery this morning, per Evan Grant, who says that the expected timeline for such a surgery would provide that he would be able to DH in six months. Six months, of course, is late August, which would essentially mean Jung will miss most, if not all, of the 2022 season.
What a fucking gut punch this is. Jung has exceeded the consensus expectations for him coming out of Texas Tech and established himself as a top 25-30 prospect in the game. He was expected to be the Rangers’ regular third baseman this year — if not on Opening Day, then soon thereafter.
