Jace Jung Reinstated From Minor-League Injured List
5 months agoDetroit Tigers No. 3 prospect Jace Jung (wrist) was reinstated from the seven-day injured list in the minor leagues on Tuesday and has rejoined Triple-A Toledo. Jung hasn't played for the Mud Hens since June 19 due to right-wrist soreness but went 3-for-10 on a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland. The younger brother of Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung has impressed at Toledo this year, slashing .270/.390/.500 with an .890 OPS, 11 home runs, 41 RBI and 33 runs scored in 283 plate appearances over 64 games. The 6-foot, 205-pound left-handed hitter has a clearer path to big-league playing time at the hot corner, but he can also play second base, although his lack of range may make it tough for him to stick at the keystone long term. Jung should already be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues and could be worth a pickup in redraft leagues if he makes his MLB debut later this year.
