Josh Jung of the Texas Rangers is at a critical juncture in his MLB career, having recently surpassed 1,000 plate appearances. However, his performance has raised concerns, particularly regarding his inability to walk and struggle against fastballs, especially those up and in. These issues have contributed to a concerning month where his slash line plummeted to .167/.219/.233, ranking among the lowest in the league.

As the Rangers look to bolster their lineup, Jung's future role is in jeopardy. Manager Bruce Bochy hinted at possible demotions if performance doesn't improve, especially with teammates like Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford potentially reclaiming their spots. Jung is aware of his shortcomings and is actively seeking adjustments, but the team may soon have to make tough decisions regarding playing time.
