Justin Foscue's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Texas Rangers infield prospect Justin Foscue (oblique) went 1-for-2 with two walks for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. The 25-year-old saw his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A as he continues to progress in his return from an oblique strain. Foscue had just gotten the call-up to the Rangers when he suffered his injury in early April. The No. 2 prospect for Texas is a pure hitter with good plate discipline. As he continues his rehab assignment it will be interesting to see if a spot opens for him at the major league level. First, he will have to show he is back to full health, but any potential return to the big leagues could be in a utility role.

Texas Rangers infield prospect Justin Foscue (oblique) is headed to the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. It is a shame as Foscue got his first big-league hit off Josh Hader on Sunday. Foscue was promoted last week when third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) landed on the 10-day injured list. Jung has now been transferred to the 60-day injured and infielder Davis Wendzel will take the roster spot of Foscue. With Foscue not getting much playing time, one stands to believe that Wendzel will be nothing more than a bench bat and can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Texas Rangers third baseman Justin Foscue remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. The team recalled Foscue after Josh Jung (wrist) landed on the injured list on Tuesday. Since then, Foscue has been on the bench for the first three games. It seems odd that the Rangers would call up the 25-year-old prospect and then not use him. Instead, Josh Smith will cover third base and bat eighth versus right-hander Hunter Brown. Foscue is an interesting talent, but isn't worth snagging in fantasy formats while sitting on the bench.
