Rangers' Josh Jung to Undergo Surgery for Broken Wrist, Out Six Weeks

Texas Rangers call up top prospect Justin Foscue to fill in for injured third baseman Josh Jung.

  • Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung will undergo surgery for a broken right wrist, sidelining him for about six weeks.
  • Jung was injured during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays when he was hit by a pitch from reliever Phil Maton.
  • Rangers call up top prospect Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock to fill Jung's spot.
  • Foscue, a versatile infielder, had a strong performance in Triple-A last season, with a .266 average, 18 home runs, and more walks than strikeouts.
  • The Rangers, defending World Series champions, will rely on other infielders, including Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith, in Jung's absence.
