Tallies multi-hit game Burger went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Burger entered the game having gone hitless in his last nine at-bats while striking out five times. While he struck out two more times Tuesday, Burger also drove in his seventh run of the season with an infield single in the second inning. Burger has seen an increased opportunity with Yoan Moncada (oblique) sidelined, though he's struggled to a .250/.270/.383 line across 64 plate appearances. Burger's playing time is also likely to diminish significantly in the near future, as Moncada is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and could be activated from the injured list as early as Wednesday.

Slugs second homer Burger went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Burger led off the fourth inning with a home run off Zack Greinke to record his second long ball of the season. Two frames earlier he had recorded his second double of the campaign but was stranded at third base. This was a needed performance for Burger, as he had collected only three hits across his last 24 at-bats while striking out at a 30.4 percent clip. However, he's now recorded consecutive multi-hit games and should appear regularly in the lineup so long as Yoan Moncada (oblique) is sidelined.

As White Sox struggle out of the gate, is it already time to panic?

Takes seat Sunday Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Danny Mendick will get a turn at third base while Burger gets a breather for the series finale. Burger made eight starts over the White Sox's last 10 games, slashing a meager .207/.207/.310 with a 31 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Strikes out twice Burger went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Burger had a tough night at the plate, as he struck out looking with the bases loaded to end the game. Though he began the season with a pair of multi-hit performances across five starts, Burger now has just one hit across his last 15 at-bats. If his struggles continue, Burger may lose playing time once Josh Harrison (shoulder) is able to return to the lineup.

Goes yard Friday Burger went 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

Impact Burger hammered a 430-foot solo shot off Drew Rasmussen in the third inning and then tagged him with an RBI single in the fifth.

Drives in one Burger went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Mariners.

Impact Burger was fortunate to tally an RBI as he popped up with a runner on third base in the fifth inning, though it fell in after wind moved the ball significantly. While that wasn't a particularly well-struck ball, Burger has recorded three hits, two RBI and a run scored across his last two starts. Burger has begun the season in a part-time role at third base, though he could pick up additional playing time if Josh Harrison (back) remains out of the lineup.

Idle for second straight game Burger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Burger picked up starts in the White Sox's first two games of the season, but Josh Harrison has now replaced him at the hot corner in consecutive contests. The 26-year-old previously sat out Sunday with the Tigers bringing a lefty (Tarik Skubal) to the hill, and Burger's absence from the lineup Tuesday comes against a right-handed starting pitcher (Matt Brash). The usage suggests Burger isn't part of a platoon arrangement at third base, though he may still be limited to a part-time role even while Yoan Moncada (oblique) is likely out for at least the next couple of weeks.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Sunday Burger is not in Sunday's lineup against the Tigers.

Impact Burger will rest for the first time this season after starting at third base in each of Chicago's first two games in the absence of Yoan Moncada (oblique). Josh Harrison will shift over to third base, with Danny Mendick entering the lineup to start at second base while hitting ninth.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches base twice Burger went 1-for-3 with a double, run scored, and a walk Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Burger drew the start at third base due to the absence of Yoan Moncada (oblique). Despite hitting ninth, Burger took advantage of his unexpected opportunity by roping a double to right field prior to coming around to score in the second inning. He is likely to get another start at third base Saturday because Tim Anderson remains suspended for the game, meaning Leury Garcia will shift to shortstop. Once Anderson is eligible to return on Sunday, the most likely outcome is that Burger will split time with Garcia at third base until Moncada is able to return.
