Josh Jung Out With Calf Strain | Texas Rangers News

Rangers take a hard hit as Josh Jung lands on the injured list with a calf strain—right where it meets the Achilles—just as the trade deadline looms and they face tough opponents. Though he pushed through pregame to play against the Mariners, he knew it was too risky, fearing a longer absence that could derail the team’s momentum. A veteran of past injuries, including last year’s neck spasms, Jung’s impact this season has been undeniable, ranking among the league’s best offensively. With manager rallying the team around “next man up,” infielder Josh Smith is called up from Triple-A to fill the void. Jung’s earliest return? August 1st—a brutal timeline for a team fighting to stay alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
