The Texas Rangers have made several roster moves, including activating third baseman Josh Jung from the 60-day injured list. Jung, who had been sidelined since April 1 due to a right wrist fracture sustained by a pitch, underwent surgery and faced multiple setbacks in his recovery. The 26-year-old, who was an All-Star in 2023 and contributed to the Rangers’ World Series win, had a promising season before his injury. Despite his activation, Jung was not in the lineup for the game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Additionally, the Rangers placed right-handed pitcher Jon Gray on the 15-day injured list due to a right groin strain he incurred during warmups before a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Gray, now in his third season with Texas, has a 5-4 record and a 3.43 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 94 innings.
Other roster changes include activating left-hander Cody Bradford from the 60-day IL, recalling infielder Ezequiel Duran and right-hander Gerson Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock, and transferring outfielder Evan Carter from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL due to a lumbar sprain. The team also optioned catcher Andrew Knizner and infielders Justin Foscue and Jonathan Ornelas to Triple-A, while designating infielder Davis Wendzel for assignment.
