Takes swings Wednesday Burger (hand) isn't starting Wednesday against Detroit but took swings ahead of the game, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact The White Sox announced Tuesday that Burger wouldn't return to the lineup until Friday against the Astros at the earliest, but he'll likely be available off the bench if needed Wednesday. However, the team will likely try not to use him prior to Thursday's scheduled off day. Regardless of whether the 26-year-old takes the field, manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Burger will "for sure" be available Friday against Houston.

Won't return before Friday Burger (hand) will return Friday against the Astros at the earliest, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Burger was hit in the hand by a pitch Monday against the Tigers and wound up leaving the game. He's out of the lineup Tuesday and will remain out Wednesday as well, as the White Sox want to take advantage of Thursday's scheduled off day to give him a full three days off to rest his hand.

Not starting Tuesday Burger (hand) will sit Tuesday against the Tigers.
Impact Burger left Monday's game against the Tigers after a pitch hit his hand. His X-rays were negative and he hasn't been diagnosed with anything worse than a bruise, but he'll nevertheless get at least one day to recover. Andrew Vaughn will serve as the designated hitter, with Adam Engel starting in right field.

Reaches base twice Burger went 1-for-5 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday against the Rangers.
Impact Burger suffered an apparent leg injury Thursday, but he was in the lineup of Chicago's three games against the Rangers over the weekend. He delivered five hits across 14 at-bats and is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's hitting .433 with four home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored. Gavin Sheets was recently demoted, which signals that Burger should have a clear path to everyday playing time at either third base or designated hitter moving forward.

Good to go Burger (leg) will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Rangers.
Impact Burger exited late in Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent leg injury, but whatever was ailing him evidently wasn't particularly serious. He's been in great form recently, going 8-for-16 with three homers across his last five games, so it's great news for the White Sox that he won't miss any time.

Exits with apparent injury Burger was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers prior to the ninth inning due to an apparent leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Burger appeared to be uncomfortable after fielding a grounder in the top of the sixth inning, and he seemed to be shaking out his leg while running the bases in the bottom of the eighth. The exact nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, but he was replaced defensively by Yoan Moncada in the top of the ninth inning. Burger was productive before leaving the game, as he went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, three runs, a walk and a strikeout.

Slugs sixth homer Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Burger provided the lone run for the White Sox by taking Tony Gonsolin yard in the fifth inning for his sixth homer of the season. He's quietly been a strong source of power of late, collecting four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI and six runs scored across his last 11 appearances. Burger has also remained a regular in the lineup since the return of Yoan Moncada, though he could be in for another challenge for playing time when Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is activated from the injured list.
