Josh Jung suffers fractured hand, ending his 2026 season
Summary

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung's season is over after suffering a fractured hand from a hit by pitch during a game against the Minnesota Twins on September 25, 2026. This marks the third broken bone for Jung in four years, reflecting a challenging injury history. He was having his best offensive year, batting.299 with a.462 slugging percentage, but missed time earlier this season due to a calf strain. Jung's absence adds to the Rangers' struggles as they contend in the division, along with Joc Pederson's similar injury. Both the Rangers and Astros lost their games recently, maintaining a record of 79-81.
