Rangers' Josh Jung Leaves Game with Calf Tightness

Josh Jung left the game taifa Tuesday night because of left calf tightness. He was the Rangers’ leading hitter, batting at .294 before his exit in the top of the fourth inning. Jung had a two‑out single in the third, then appeared slow making the run from first to third on a single by Brandon Nimmo, but he finished the inning by scoring on a double linger by Jake Burger.

The Rangers had previously placed catcher Kyle Higashioka on the 10‑day injured list with a right flexor strain and right‑handed pitcher Jose Corniell on the 15‑day list with the same injury. Texas responded by calling up left‑hander Marco Gonzales and catcher Austin Wynns from Triple‑A Round Rock.

In addition, left‑hander Jalen Beeks was transferred to[mid‑season] the 60‑day injured list after undergoing surgery for a flexor tendon strain, ending his season.

The move keeps the Rangers’ lineup flexible as they adjust to injuries and prepare for the remainder of the season.
