Texas Rangers' Josh Jung Undergoes Wrist Surgery

Texas Rangers All-Star Josh Jung has undergone a second surgery on his right wrist, specifically an ECU tendon release, following a season marred by injury that limited him to just 46 games. The procedure, performed by Dr. Steven Shin, aims to alleviate lingering pain and was deemed necessary after consulting multiple medical opinions. Jung's president of baseball operations, Chris Young, stated that this surgery will allow Jung to have a normal offseason and prepare for Spring Training after a recovery period of three to four weeks. During the 2024 season, Jung batted .264 with seven home runs, struggling after a strong start due to recurring wrist pain. Additionally, rookie outfielder Evan Carter also received surgery for back issues, while Adolis García is facing an eight-week rehab for a strained knee. The Rangers are hopeful for a healthier roster moving into the next season.
