Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung will be sidelined at least 10 days and possibly longer after being diagnosed with an adductor strain.

The ailment was detected via an MRI exam. Jung was scratched from the lineup prior to a game on Thursday.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker is hoping the injury doesn't keep Jung away from baseball activities for a longer duration.

"The thing about Josh is that he's such a hard worker," Schumaker told reporters on Saturday. "I think he's going to get back quicker than that 14-day mark. His process has been so good. I felt like his work in the cages, in the backfield and the lives were about to translate on the field.

"In the first couple games, he hit the ball as hard as anybody. I thought he was just trending in the right direction. Honestly, if there's stuff happening, I'd rather it happen now."

Jung, 28, batted .251 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs in 131 games in 2025 in his second straight disappointing season.

Jung was an All-Star as a rookie in 2023 when the Rangers won the World Series. He had 23 homers and 70 RBIs to go with a .266 average in 122 regular-season games and finished fourth in American League Rookie of the Year balloting.

Jung batted .308 with three homers and eight RBIs in 17 games in the 2023 postseason. He hit .350 in five World Series games.

Infielder Justin Foscue (strained right hamstring) also will miss at least 10 days, but Schumaker said it won't affect his bid to make the team. Foscue, a first-round pick in 2020, is 3-for-51 (.059) in 19 games over the past two seasons.

"It doesn't change anything as far as his chances," Schumaker said of Foscue, who turns 27 on Monday. "He's just gonna lose at-bats, which sucks for him. But I think as far as him breaking camp or anything, there's still four weeks left. He'll still have two weeks left of camp, really, to try to build up. He should get more at-bats."
