Josh Jung cleared to return from injury

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung passed a follow-up exam and started participating in on-field activities, according to Dallas Morning News Rangers beat writer Evan Grant.

Jung had surgery on his wrist six weeks ago. According to Grant, Jung played catch and fielded ground balls in his return to the field.

On April 1, Jung was hit by a pitch on his wrist, resulting in a fracture and sidelining the former Texas Tech Red Raider. Grant says the Rangers expected Jung to be available to return about 10 weeks following surgery. He is eligible to return on June 1 but, according to Grant, he is currently on pace for a return more likely in mid-June.

The Rangers are currently .500 on the year with a 22-22 record, prior to Wednesday night’s game at 7 p.m. against the Cleveland Guardians.
