Texas Rangers young sluggers Josh Jung and Evan Carter have missed most of the 2024 season while recovering from injuries. When can you expect them to return to the lineup?
Both Jung, 26, and Carter, 21, ran the bases during the Rangers' workout Thursday afternoon at Globe Life Field. Jung also fielded grounders at third base and played catch with injured pitcherfrom inflammation in his right wrist, which worsened during his first minor league rehab stint in early June. The club shut him down for nearly three weeks to let the inflammation subside. He took 15 swings off a tee in Houston and took a couple of swings on flipped balls Thursday.
"I don't know, I'm just going day by day because last time I started putting a date on there, it felt like I kind of rushed myself," he said. "So we're leaving it up in the air and when I feel good to go, we'll pick it up.". He was working out at the club's Arizona Complex until the All-Star break.
Carter was batting .188 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 45 games before going on the IL. His back injury was bothering him for at least a couple of weeks before he was placed on the IL. Jung was placed on the IL after his right wrist was fractured by a pitch four games into the season. The 2023 All-Star was batting .412 with two homers, a double, a triple and six RBI in less than four full games before the injury.Stefan Stevenson worked as a journalist and editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for 25 years, covering sports, concerts, and general news.
