Rangers' Jake Burger: Idle for series finale
Burger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
After making an early exit from Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Angels due to a left wrist contusion, Burger proceeded to start in the Rangers' ensuing three games and went 3-for-10 with two home runs, one double, four walks, one steal and three RBI. The wrist issue evidently isn't affecting his power production, but the Rangers will give Burger a maintenance day nonetheless for the series finale in Chicago. Joc Pederson will spell Burger at first base.

The 30-year-old connected with his 22nd homer of the season in the fifth inning to extend the lead. Burger later drove in Evan Carter on an RBI double to add more distance on the scoreboard. Burger is slashing .236/.301/.424 with 22 homers and 75 RBI in 498 plate appearances this season.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Misses no time
Burger went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Angels.
Burger was removed from Saturday's game after getting hit by a pitch on the wrist but was able to play Sunday. It might have been a different story if the Rangers were out of the playoff hunt, but Texas is tied with Houston for first in the AL West. Burger admitted to the wrist still being sore, which could limit his production. He has one hit over his last 12 at-bats and is batting .217 (13-for-60) during the month of August.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Playing through wrist injury Sunday
Burger (wrist) will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Angels.
Per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, Burger said that his left wrist is still sore after he was hit by a pitch Saturday, but he's made enough improvement to play in the series finale. The wrist issue probably won't help Burger's chances of regaining the offense that's been missing for much of the second half; he's slashing an unremarkable .220/.274/.394 with five home runs in 31 games following the All-Star break.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Supplies offense in loss
Burger went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Athletics.
Burger's blast forced Gage Jump's exit from the contest in the sixth inning, but it was also the extent of the Rangers' scoring. The homer ended a 15-game power drought for Burger, who went just 10-for-51 (.196) with two doubles and two RBI in that span. Despite the slump, he's holding onto a near-everyday role at first base. Burger is batting .234 with a .709 OPS, 20 homers, 71 RBI, 50 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases over 117 contests this season.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Three hits in Saturday's win
Burger went 3-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.
All three hits were singles, but it was still a productive afternoon for the first baseman. The multi-hit performance was Burger's third in his last six games, and over his last 18 contests he's batting a sizzling .377 (23-for-61) with three doubles, four homers, eight runs and 13 RBI. Saturday's steal was only his second of the year, but that's good enough to establish a career high for Burger.
