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.

Displays more power Burger went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Rays.

Impact Burger entered the starting lineup in place of Yoan Moncada, who was out for rest. Burger took advantage and drove in both his runs in the first frame on a ground rule double. He has delivered four extra-base hits in his last four starts and is seemingly challenging Gavin Sheets for playing time as designated hitter.

Swats game-winning homer Burger hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat Saturday to lead the White Sox to a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Burger didn't start the contest, but he was called upon to pinch hit with a runner on base in the eighth inning and Chicago down a run. The infielder came through with a 427-foot, two-run shot to center field that produced the winning margin. Burger has five long balls and 15 RBI while slashing .238/.284/.416 through 110 plate appearances on the campaign.

Back on bench in Moncada's return Burger is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact With Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) back in the lineup at third base for the first time since May 25, Burger's six-game run in the starting nine comes to an end. Unless Moncada's quad issue crops up again, Burger looks like he'll have to settle for part-time duty at designated hitter moving forward. Most of the righty-hitting Burger's starts are likely to come against left-handed pitching.
