Texas Rangers infielder Josh Jung successfully completed his third straight day of on-field running Wednesday, marking a significant advancement in his recovery from a calf injury. Jung has been sidelined since late July and previously suffered setbacks during two earlier attempts to return to the lineup. During his workout at Globe Life Field, Jung performed straight-line running and navigated the infield arc without issue. He also increased his volume of ground ball fielding drills. The infielder maintains an optimistic outlook but remains cautious, noting his desire to reach 80% intensity before committing to a full return. Team officials are currently evaluating the plan for the remainder of the week, with a potential minor league rehab assignment scheduled for the coming weekend or early next week.
