An All-Star and a fourth-place finish in the Rookie of the Year voting in 2023, Jung has not been able to duplicate that year when he batted .266 with 23 home runs in 122 games. Last season, Jung played a career-high 131 games, but hit only 14 home runs and slashed .251/.294/.390. However, he did hit .271 with six home runs in 56 games after the All-Star break. Jung will be the starting third baseman for the Rangers in 2026 and could be an excellent candidate for a breakout season.

Josh Jung went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, and one walk in the win against the Guardians.

The 27-year-old continues an underwhelming stretch at the plate, hitting .152 with four RBI and four runs scored over his last 15 games for the Rangers. After yesterday's dominating performance, Jung's season totals stand at a .240 batting average with 12 home runs and 47 RBI across 100 games played.
