Story summary

Josh Jung, a key player for the Texas Rangers, was diagnosed with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his right hand after being hit by a 94.6-mph fastball from Joe Ryan of the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Despite staying in the game initially, Jung had to be removed early and expressed devastation upon realizing the severity of the injury. The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with only two regular-season games left. Jung batted .299 this season with 12 homers and 42 RBIs, missing August due to a calf strain. His absence is significant as the Rangers are battling for the American League West title against the Houston Astros. The team recalled pitcher Robby Ahlstrom and catcher Logan O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock to fill Jung's roster spot.

Rangers manger Skip Schumaker said after the game that X-rays showed a fracture in the fifth metacarpal of Jung’s right hand, but the team was planning on doing more testing and evaluation on Saturday before making a decision on his status. Jung said he was “devastated” and knew as soon as he was hit by a 94.6-mph fastball from Twins starter Joe Ryan that the bone was broken. “I felt like the bones kind of got pushed,” said Jung, who stayed in the game to run the bases but was removed for a pinch hitter in the third inning. asserted
