With three more rehab games with Triple-A Round Rock in Sacramento this weekend, third baseman Josh Jung should be ready to rejoin the Texas Rangers on Monday.
since the first week of the season, could be ready to rejoin the roster as early as next week when the club is on the road for a three-game set in Milwaukee and a four-game set in Baltimore.
In four rehab games for Round Rock, Jung is 4 for 17 — all singles — with no walks, five strikeouts, and an RBI. Jung played third base in the first three games before DHing on Thursday.. The Express finish their series in Sacramento with three more games this weekend. If Jung is available all weekend, he's likely to hit the 30 at-bat threshold. It's also possible the Rangers might want Jung to build up a few more reps before he returns.
The Rangers offense has struggled to consistently produce runs for much of the first three months of the season. Jung's bat in the middle of the lineup has certainly been missed.filling in for Jung at third, along with giving Corey Seager days off at shortstop, Jung's bat will provide more pop and serve to protect clean-up hitter Adolis Garcia, who has been struggling at the plate for six weeks. Smith will likely become an everyday DH when he's not giving an infielder a day off.
