Josh Jung Out for Season with Wrist Injury

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung will miss the remainder of the 2024 MLB season due to ongoing issues with his surgically repaired right wrist. After struggling with pain and inflammation, the team is expected to place him on the 10-day injured list, ending his season with six games left to play. Jung last played on September 20 and sought evaluation from a hand specialist to better understand his condition. In his absence, Ezequiel Duran has taken over at third base, while the Rangers plan to promote either Dustin Harris or Sam Huff to fill Jung's roster spot. Jung, a 2023 All-Star, previously missed significant time this season due to a fractured wrist, and his current focus is on recovering fully for spring training. The Rangers will finish the season third in the AL West, with no playoff prospects remaining.
