Rangers third baseman Josh Jung got emotional reading what he had prepared to explain how he felt about his fractured right wrist and the fourth surgery of his young career.
Jung said Friday that his statement, modeled after what the late Kobe Bryant said when the Hall of Fame basketball player tore his left Achilles tendon in 2013, helped him get through some of the feelings he had since surgery earlier in the week when a plate and seven screws were inserted into his wrist. Jung is expected to miss eight to 10 weeks.
"You've been through something, you know you can do it again," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said."Just a shame he's had to do it so many times at his age. He was primed to have another great year, and he was swinging the bat so well, and playing a great third base." He previously had surgery in February 2022 to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, a year after an operation to repair a stress fracture in his left foot.
Rangers third baseman Josh Jung suffered a broken bone in his right wrist after he got struck when swinging at a pitch Monday night. He is expected to miss eight to 10 weeks after undergoing surgery for the fourth time in his career. Jung said real perspective sinks in when finally letting out all of the emotions, and that he knows there are far greater challenges in the world than a broken bone.
