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.
