Which injured Texas Rangers high-profile star is the ideal player to turn the season around in Arlington?

The injury bug has struck Arlington, leaving the Texas Rangers struggling to field a team with the “Run It Back” to October expectations.

Health will always be a concern, but two months into a season isn’t enough to make anyone wave the white flag due to injury. The Rangers, who remain 3.5 games back for the American League West lead, just need to get back a player or two to compete along with the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.

But which player’s impact matters most to a quick fix in Arlington? According to MLB.com, the return of All-Star third baseman Josh Jung could be the spark needed for the offense to reach its peak once more.

The Rangers’ starting pitching injuries are piling up, but the loss of Jung just four games into the season has been a tough pill to swallow, too. Jung owns a career .963 OPS against left-handed pitching, and the Rangers have struggled (.647 OPS) against lefties with the young third baseman on the IL. The initial timeline for Jung was eight to 10 weeks from his surgery in early April, and while Jung has yet to begin baseball activities, he should be back in time to contribute for the second half of the season.
