Overview

  • Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, retroactive to July 13, after straining his left quadriceps.
  • The retroactive dating and upcoming All-Star break mean Burger could miss as few as six games.
  • He is experiencing career lows with a .228 batting average and .660 OPS following an early-season demotion to Triple-A Round Rock.
  • Texas ranks 25th in MLB with a .676 team OPS and has not officially named a replacement on its active roster.
  • The Rangers worked out veteran first baseman Rowdy Tellez on Thursday, recalled infielder Justin Foscue and optioned outfielder Michael Helman while considering Blaine Crim and Josh Jung.
