Josh Jung Still Not Swinging
5 months agoTexas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) said he's just taking everything day by day at this point and hasn't swung a bat since his last minor-league rehab game on June 20. Jung is still sore but everything remains fine structurally in his surgically repaired wrist after he visited with a specialist. While it's good news that Jung doesn't have any structural damage to his wrist, it's also frustrating and worrisome that he's still dealing with pain. At this point, there's no timetable for his return to a minor-league rehab assignment, let alone to the big-league roster. We wouldn't be surprised if Jung isn't back with the Rangers until August. Jung has proven to be injury-prone early in his career, but his elite power in a stacked Rangers lineup makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy formats. Josh Smith will continue to benefit from regular playing time for however long Jung remains on the shelf.
