Smacks another homer Burger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a triple in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.
Impact Burger has homered in three straight games since coming back from a short stint on the injured list with an oblique strain. He's also gone 7-for-12 in that span. The 27-year-old has settled into the starting job at designated hitter with Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) sidelined, and that should be Burger's spot for roughly another week. For the season, Burger is slashing .278/.348/.747 with a career-high 10 homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 89 plate appearances.

Powerful in return Burger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Guardians.
Impact Burger took Shane Bieber deep in the fifth inning to tally his ninth homer of the season. It was his second long ball in as many games since he returned from an oblique injury Sunday, and he should get regular run as the White Sox's designated hitter so long as Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) is sidelined. Overall, Burger has hit .253/.329/.680 across 85 plate appearances, albeit with a 31.8 percent strikeout rate.

Homers in return to the lineup Burger went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.
Impact Burger gave the Sox life after launching a first pitch curveball that just snuck over the left field wall to bring his squad within a run. The 27-year-old now has eight homers in just 81 plate appearances on the year and should find himself in a daily role as long as Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) is out with injury. Burger is now slashing .239/.321/.648 with 16 RBI, 12 runs and a 7:26 BB:K.

Reinstated off injured list Burger (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list by the White Sox on Sunday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Burger is hitting seventh and lined up as the designated hitter for Sunday's finale against the Astros. The 27-year-old infielder was able to come off the injured list while missing just the minimum 10 days on the injured list with his oblique strain. Burger should see playing time at third base and designated hitter now that he's back on the major-league roster.

Ready for Sunday activation Burger (oblique) has joined the team and will likely be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Burger hit .224 with seven home runs, 11 runs and 14 RBI in 23 games prior to suffering a mild left oblique strain. Yoan Moncada has since returned from his injury, but Eloy Jimenez's emergency appendectomy likely opens up regular work for Burger in the short term.

Cleared for rehab assignment Burger (oblique) was cleared Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact It should be a short stay in the minors for Burger, who has been on the shelf for less than a week due to a mild left oblique strain. He's first eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list this coming Sunday and may be ready on that exact day. Hanser Alberto is currently serving as the primary third baseman for the White Sox with Yoan Moncada (back) also sitting on the IL.

Hoping for abbreviated IL stint Burger (oblique) said Sunday that he's been able to resume running without discomfort and plans to take part in light fielding drills beginning Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Ch...
Impact Specifically, Burger said he'll field groundballs hit directly at him, as the White Sox aren't yet ready to have him take part in change-of-direction work after he was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left oblique strain. While the White Sox haven't revealed the severity of the oblique strain, the fact that Burger is already resuming baseball activities suggests that he's dealing with a Grade 1 or mild-to-moderate strain. Burger said that is he responds well to running and fielding over the next couple days, he could advance to swinging the bat at some point later in the week. The 27-year-old appears destined to miss more than the minimum 10 days, but he currently looks on pace for a return before the end of the month.

Lands on IL with oblique strain Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list by the White Sox on Thursday with a strained left oblique.
Impact Burger suffered the injury while taking a swing during Wednesday's game versus the Twins. The severity grade of the strain is not clear, but even in a best-case scenario Burger figures to miss much of May. Hanser Alberto is handling third base Thursday and could get regular run there while Burger and Yoan Moncada (back) are out.
