Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is expected to be sidelined approximately three weeks due to a low-grade calf strain, manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday.
Jung, who turned 26 on Monday, suffered the injury while fielding grounders on Friday.
He is coming off a strong campaign in which he made the All-Star team in what qualified as his rookie season. He batted .266 with 23 homers and 70 RBIs in 122 games for the Rangers, who went on to win the World Series.
Injuries are nothing new for Jung, who dealt with a stress fracture in spring training of 2021 and was sidelined until June.
