Rangers Injury Updates: Jung, Eovaldi Progress
4 Sep
Summary
- Josh Jung is nearing full-speed base running after calf strain.
- Nathan Eovaldi improving, threw bullpen session for elbow inflammation.
- Rangers seek crucial win against Rays to close gap with Astros.
The Texas Rangers are closely monitoring the recovery of key players Josh Jung and Nathan Eovaldi, both currently on the injured list. Jung has been engaging in baseball activities and is reportedly running linear with two arcs, getting closer to full-speed base running. He has been out since July 25 with a strained left calf, with his recovery taking longer than initially anticipated.
Meanwhile, Nathan Eovaldi, sidelined since August 10 due to right posterior elbow inflammation, threw a 25-pitch bullpen session. His next steps, including potentially live batting practice or a rehab assignment, are being evaluated. The team is assessing how much build-up Eovaldi can achieve in the minors.
On the field, the Rangers are in a must-win situation for their game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Following a loss to the Athletics, Texas needs a victory to avoid falling further behind the Houston Astros in the standings. The team has a strong recent record against the Rays, particularly at home.
