Overview

  • The Rangers placed Burger on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 13 because of a left quadriceps strain, marking his second IL stay this season.
  • He has compiled a .228 batting average with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs over 75 games in his first year with Texas.
  • Since returning from a left oblique strain on July 2, Burger hit .250 with eight homers and 23 RBIs across 45 games.
  • The quad issue became apparent after he struck out as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning at Houston and exited Friday night’s opener in the sixth inning.
  • Texas has not announced a corresponding roster move as it prepares for Friday’s home series opener against Detroit.
