The Texas Rangers are promoting infielder Justin Foscue from AAA Round Rock to replace injured third baseman Josh Jung, according to Jeff Passan on Twitter.
Once it was announced last night that Jung had a fractured wrist, Foscue seemed like the most likely option to replace him on the active roster. Ezequiel Duran, who has been platooning at first base with Jared Walsh, will likely move into the regular third base role. Foscue, a righthanded hitter, would seem likely to replace Duran as Walsh’s platoon partner at first base until Nathaniel Lowe returns from the injured list.
