The Tigers recalled Jace Jung from Triple-A Toledo.
Fantasy Impact
Jung gets an opportunity in the majors with Javier Baez landing on the injured list. He'll add depth in the infield for Detroit.
Jung slashed .286/.405/.371 across 20 spring games but posted just a .342 OPS in 55 plate appearances at the big-league level last season. The Tigers optioned him to Triple-A Toledo Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Jung is not expected to see significant major-league playing time in 2026 unless Detroit faces substantial infield injuries.
Jace Jung has been getting reps at first base in camp.
Fantasy Impact
Jung has appeared in just 55 major league games, splitting time between second and third base. He’s struggled in that limited sample, posting a .190/.315/.230 slash line, but has found far more success in the minors, where he owns a .257/.375/.461 line across 363 games. With reps at first base this spring, the Detroit Tigers may be searching for additional ways to get his bat into the lineup. With Spencer Torkelson at first base, Jung, a left-handed hitter, could serve as an option to give Torkelson a breather, particularly against right-handed pitching.
