  Josh Jung To Make Rangers Debut Friday

  Texas Rangers third base prospect Josh Jung will be recalled from the minors and will make his major league debut for the team on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to sources. A torn left labrum in his shoulder in spring training kept Jung from beginning the year in the major leagues, but he'll wind up debuting this year anyway, albeit a lot later than most expected. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, hit a combined .267/.323/.542 with an .865 OPS, nine home runs, 29 RBI and 18 runs scored in 30 games for the Rookie-level club and Triple-A Round Rock this year. Although the 24-year-old won't have much time to make a fantasy impact for the rest of 2022, he's deserving of a pickup in almost all leagues if you need a power boost. Jung is likely to play regularly to close things out.

  Josh Jung Not Close To MLB Call-Up

  Texas Rangers third base prospect Josh Jung's (shoulder) MLB debut is not imminent, according to interim manager Tony Beasley. The Rangers see Jung's current rehab stint as his spring training, and they want to make sure he's ready physically. The 24-year-old, who is the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, was on the verge of making the major league squad out of spring training earlier this year before tearing the labrum in his left shoulder. Still, Texas isn't going to rush him to the majors to close out the 2022 campaign. In 15 games in the Arizona Complex League and at Triple-A Round Rock, Jung has hit an impressive .333/.419/.833 with a 1.253 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI and 12 runs scored in 62 plate appearances. Whenever he does make his MLB debut, Jung will be attractive to fantasy managers in all leagues.
