Rangers rookie 3B Josh Jung suffers fractured left thumb
Texas Rangers rookie third baseman Josh Jung suffered a fractured left thumb in Sunday’s 6-0 win over the Miami MarlinsAUGUST 6, 2023•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ezequiel Duran - Homers off benchDuran went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.
ImpactDuran entered the game after Josh Jung was lifted with a broken thumb. It's been a rough stretch since the All-Star break for Duran, who has gone 9-for-56 (.161) with a 7:20 BB:K and just four RBI in 18 games. With Jung likely out a minimum of four weeks, Duran and Josh Smith will have a chance to compete for playing time at third base, allowing Robbie Grossman to settle in at designated hitter. Duran's .281/.326/.482 slash line is better than Smith's .214/.344/.349 mark for the year, but neither has been particularly effective lately. Duran has added 14 homers, 39 RBI, 44 runs scored and six stolen bases through 325 plate appearances, though he'd likely be on the short side of a platoon if one emerges.

He's quickly closing in on a 30-homer season -- his blast Sunday was his 29th of the campaign.
