Jung underwent a minimally invasive surgical procedure on his right wrist in October, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Jung had been dealing with right wrist inflammation late in the season and the 24-year-old is expected to be ready to go for spring training in February. Jung appeared in 34 games with the Tigers during the 2024 regular season, producing a .241 average with five doubles, three RBI and 14 runs scored over 79 at-bats. Manager A.J. Hinch noted Monday that Jung will be given an opportunity to win a job during spring training, and he'll see work at third base, second base and in the designated hitter slot, per Petzold.

Tigers' Jace Jung: Officially added to roster
The Tigers selected Jung's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Tigers' Jace Jung: Set for major-league debut Friday
The Tigers are expected to call up Jung from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Friday's game against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
After being selected in the first round of the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, Jung began his career in the Tigers organization as a second baseman before making the transition to third base during the 2023 Arizona Fall League. Though he's played both third base and second base at Toledo in 2024, he'll likely supplant Gio Urshela as the Tigers' preferred option at the hot corner as he makes the jump to the big leagues. Jung had been a standout performer at the plate for Toledo this season, slashing .257/.377/.454 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI over 414 plate appearances.
