Texas Rangers All-Star Josh Jung will miss six weeks with a fractured wrist, and during his absence former first round pick Justin Foscue will be in the big leagues.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Returning to the scene from where it all began last October, theearned a second consecutive series victory to start the season after taking two of three against the Tampa Bay Rays, but it wasn’t without a high price.
Until he started running out of gas, Dunning was cruising, facing just one above the minimum through four innings, entering the seventh allowing just one hit, working his way out of any self-induced trouble via walks in the middle innings, and striking out seven over the course of his outing with rare swing-and-miss stuff. — Adam J.

Then came that fateful ninth inning where Rays pitcher Phil Maton hit Evan Carter, then Adolis Garcia, then came way inside to Jung, who was deemed to have swung in the act of getting out of the way of a pitch. The pitch hit him on the wrist and he was removed from the game and later was off to Arizona to have surgery that was ultimately discovered to be more extensive than expected.
With the Ranger bats unable to get going against Zach Eflin in their first game without Jung, Texas’ fate was sealed in Tuesday’s contest, making Heaney a hard luck loser. Despite pitching quite well, Heaney’s career record fell to 0-7 against the Rays.In Nathan Eovaldi’s second start of the season, facing a formidable Rays’ offense, the Rangers’ ace kept up the momentum from his previous start.
Leclerc, having given up four runs in the series finale against the Cubs just on Sunday, needed to find his way back into Bochy’s good graces. Leclerc’s biggest issue right now is confidence and control.
