Josh Jung DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and tworuns scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros. He was the only Ranger to get multiple hits in the game and has recordedmultiple hits in four of his last six games. The former first-round draft pick is hitting .291 on the year, with 18 RBI and 15 runs scored in 37 games played. With a .361 wOBA and 135 wRC+, the right-handed hitter has been productive, so hopefully he can remain healthy for the remainder of the campaign after being limitedto only 46 games in 2024 and missing time on the IL once already earlier thisyear. The 27-year-old has career bests in contact rate, strikeout rate, and barrel rate thus far, and he'll take on the Astros' Ronel Blanco on Saturday, whom he is 3-for-3 off of in his career, with a walk, a double, and a home run.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung had an excellent day at the plate in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rockies. Jung went 3-for-4 with a single, a three-run home run, and a solo HR. The 27-year-old lined a first-inning Kyle Freeland fastball into the right-field dugout to plate three and launched a Zach Agnos offering into the left-field seats in the eighth inning. Jung has put together solid numbers in 2025, slashing .282/.315/.492 with six HR, 16 RBI, and two stolen bases in 130 plate appearances. Injuries have been an issue for Jung throughout his career, but he has produced decent batting average and power when healthy.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (finger) is back at third base and is hitting sixth in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Athletics and left-hander J.P. Sears at Globe Life Field. Jung received a cut on his index finger in Sunday's series finale against the San Francisco Giants, but it was nothing serious and he'll be back on the field a day later. Fantasy managers will want to get the oft-injured third baseman back into their starting lineups for the week. He's in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-17 with a home run, double, RBI, stolen base and run scored in 18 plate appearances. Jung has been strong for the Rangers and fantasy managers so far in 2025, too, hitting .282 (20-for-71) with two homers and seven RBI. Jung has also hit .308 in 13 career at-bats against Sears.
