Jace Jung Could Have Limited Playing Time
25 seconds agoAccording to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Detroit Tigers third base prospect Jace Jung could have a difficult path to find consistent playing time to open the season. Stavenhagen noted that if the Tigers do not sign Bregman, it would "make sense" that the Tigers platoon both Matt Vierling and Jung at the hot corner. However, the Tigers also have Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez to guarantee contacts, which could also crowd the infield. Jung underwent offseason wrist surgery but is expected to be ready for spring training. However, given the crowded infield, Stavenhagen noted that it is not "out of the question" their third base prospect opens the season at the Triple-A level. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his production during spring training, as it will likely clarify where he begins the 2025 season. Last summer, across his first 34 major league games, the former 12th overall pick posted a .241/.362/.304 line.
