Jake Burger - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not starting Saturday Burger (quad) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Impact Burger said after leaving Friday's game with quad discomfort that he expected to play in Saturday's contest. Instead, the Rangers will keep him on the bench to begin the game, and he could also sit out Sunday if the Rangers want to make sure he's at 100 percent coming out of the All-Star break. Ezequiel Duran will start at first base instead and bat ninth Saturday while Burger sits.

Expects to play Saturday Burger (quad) said after Friday's win over Houston that he expects to play in Saturday's contest, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Burger had to come out of Friday's game after injuring his left quad while running to first base in the fifth inning, but it doesn't seem like the damage will be enough for him to miss any starts. The 29-year-old has been hot since returning from an oblique injury July 2, going 10-for-35 (.286) with a home run, six RBI and 6 runs scored over nine games.

Injures ankle Friday Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with an apparent ankle injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Burger seemingly twisted his ankle while trying to beat out a throw to first base in the fifth inning. He initially remained in the game but was pulled when the Rangers took the field in the sixth. His ability to stay in the game immediately after injuring himself could suggest the damage is minor, but the Rangers will likely provide an official update on his condition soon.

Homers, drives in season-high four Burger went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 13-1 victory over the Angels.

Impact Burger amassed a season-high four RBI, recording at least three hits for the fifth time this year as well. The 29-year-old corner infielder has been quite a big disappointment overall -- his .673 OPS in 2025 would be a career low if it sticks -- but he's at least fared a bit better at the plate after heading to the minor leagues earlier this year for a brief time. Across his last 41 contests, Burger is batting .258 (41-for-159) with eight homers, eight doubles, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored.

Brought back from IL The Rangers reinstated Burger (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Burger began a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Frisco and 1-for-3 with a walk while playing seven innings at first base, and the Rangers evidently came away convinced that the 29-year-old was healthy enough to rejoin the big club. Since he was on the shelf for about a week and a half due to the left oblique strain, Burger should be ready to reclaim an everyday role right away for the Rangers. Expect Burger to see most of his starts at first base, though he could receive some occasional opportunities at designated hitter.

Impact Burger has been shelved since June 21 with a left oblique strain, but he's been cleared for rehab games and will require just a brief rehab assignment before being activated. The 29-year-old should see regular starts upon his return, likely bouncing between first base and designated hitter.
