This is tough news for the Rangers' top prospect. It is estimated that it could take 6-8 weeks for Jung to recover from the foot surgery, but the Rangers indicated he may only miss a couple weeks of playing time. The Rangers likely won't rush Jung back and will exercise caution in his rehab. As long as there are no major setbacks, Jung should still make his major league debut in 2021 -- the question now becomes when.
