Dealt to Miami The Marlins acquired Burger from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Jake Eder, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Burger will provide a power boost to a Marlins team that currently ranks 28th in the majors in home runs. He's popped 25 homers and his .527 SLG would rank as a top-10 mark if he had enough plate appearances to qualify. The 27-year-old has been rather one dimensional as evidenced by his .214 average and .279 OBP, but regardless Burger figures to take over the starting job at third base from Jean Segura.

Overall, Burger is slashing .217/.273/.528 with 51 RBI and 42 runs scored through 311 plate appearances this season.

Pops homer Wednesday Burger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Burger was at second base for the second game in a row, which could be a long-term shift to keep his bat in the lineup. He may need to make some improvements at the plate to keep Elvis Andrus or Zach Remillard on the bench -- Burger has gone just 2-for-26 over his last seven contests while adding a 2:9 BB:K in that span. For the season, the infielder has a poor .212 average but a solid .772 OPS with 22 homers, 48 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base through 84 games.

Making first MLB start at 2B Burger is making his first major-league start at first base in Tuesday's contest versus the Cubs, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Burger has made a few starts at second base in the minors and played a handful of innings there in the majors, but this will be the first time he's made a start at the keystone at the big-league level. It's a way to keep his bat in the lineup following the return of Yoan Moncada from the injured list, as Moncada is back at his customary third base Tuesday.

On power binge Burger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against Atlanta.

Impact Burger blasted a two-run homer in the second inning, his fourth long ball in his last 10 games. He's also chipped in seven runs scored and seven RBI in that span, while reaching base at a .351 clip. Over a larger sample, Burger has an elevated strikeout rate that will preclude him from being a well-rounded producer. However, with 21 home runs across 274 plate appearances on the season, he's a proven source of power so long as Yoan Moncada (back) is sidelined.

Impact Burger produced arguably the biggest hit of the contest, swatting a solo shot off Spencer Strider in the sixth inning to snap a 4-4 tie. The long ball was the 20th of the season for Burger, fifth-most in the American League. That power has helped Burger remain in the lineup most days despite a 33.0 percent strikeout rate and .222 batting average.

Impact Burger had a perfect day at the plate highlighted by his solo shot in the fifth inning to kick-start the White Sox's offense.

His season slash line sits at .223/.282/.528 with 32 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 255 plate appearances.

On bench Wednesday Burger is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Zach Remillard will start at third base and bat eighth versus the Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Burger was a great surprise for the White Sox over the first two months of the 2023 season, but he is batting just .150 with a .620 OPS in 109 plate appearances since the beginning of June.

Over his previous 15 games, he posted a brutal .376 OPS with just one homer and no multi-hit performances. After reaching base three times Sunday, Burger boosted his season slash line to .220/.273/.520 with 30 extra-base hits and 38 RBI through 67 games.
