Texas Rangers put reliever Chris Martin on IL and bring 3B Josh Jung back

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Veteran reliever Chris Martin is expected to miss at least a month for the Rangers after being put on the injured list because of a left calf strain Monday, the same day Texas brought third baseman Josh Jung back to the majors.
Martin came out of Sunday night's loss against Detroit after being visited on the mound by an athletic trainer. Manager Bruce Bochy said before Monday's game that Martin likely will be out at least 4 to 6 weeks.
It is the second time this season that the 39-year-old Martin (1-6, 2.39 ERA in 39 games) has gone on the 15-day IL. The hometown right-hander missed 14 games from May 19-June 4 because of right shoulder fatigue.
Texas recalled Jung, right-hander Cole Winn and infielder-outfielder Michael Helman from Triple-A Round Rock. Infielder Justin Foscue and outfielder Alejandro Osuna were optioned to the minor league team.
Jung was struggling when the Rangers sent him down to Round Rock on July 2. While he was hitting .237 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 75 games overall, he had hit only .164 (19 of 116) in the 30 games before getting sent down.
He was an All-Star starter as a rookie in 2023, when the Rangers won their only World Series title. Jung was in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Athletics, batting eighth.

Aaron Judge is out for the Yankees' game against the Phillies because of an elbow injury

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star Aaron Judge was out of the lineup Saturday against Philadelphia because of an elbow injury. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge went for imaging. The two-time AL MVP was wincing in the outfield at Toronto this week. 'Last night was struggling to throw a little bit,' Boone said. Boone wouldn't speculate whether the injury involved Judge's UCL. 'Hopefully it's something that's manageable and we can get through it,' Boone said. ___ AP MLB:
