Josh Jung sidelined with calf strain

Related Topics: Josh Jung

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung has a mild calf strain, per the beats. Jung apparently said he would miss two weeks, while manager Bruce Bochy said it would be three weeks.

So this is unfortunate, though it could have been worse. If Jung progresses and misses just the three weeks, he should be ready to go when the season starts. If the issue lingers or there’s a setback then that would put the start of the season in jeopardy. The Rangers are already potentially without Corey Seager, who underwent hernia surgery, for Opening Day.

Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith are in place and will presumably get more reps with Jung and Seager sidelined for the time being.
