Rangers' Jake Burger: Scratched Sunday
Burger (quadriceps) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Burger was penciled in to bat seventh as the designated hitter after not starting Saturday due to left quad discomfort, but he'll instead remain on the bench for the final game before the All-Star break. Alejandro Osuna will serve as the DH versus Houston righty Hunter Brown.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Rejoining lineup Sunday
Burger (quadriceps) is batting seventh as the designated hitter Sunday against the Astros.
Burger departed Friday's contest due to quad discomfort and was held out of the lineup Saturday, but he's good to go for the final game before the All-Star break. The 29-year-old is batting .278 with six RBI and six runs through 10 games in July, but he has only a .389 slugging percentage thanks to one double and one homer.

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

Rangers' Jake Burger: 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.
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 six runs scored over nine games.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Injures quad Friday
Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with left quad discomfort, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
It looked like Burger twisted his ankle while trying to beat out a throw to first base in the fifth inning, but the issue seems to be in his upper leg instead. 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.

Rangers' Jake Burger: 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.
Burger amassed a season-high four RBI, recording at least three hits for the fifth time this season 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.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Brought back from IL
The Rangers reinstated Burger (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at designated hitter and bat seventh Wednesday against the Orioles.
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 only 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. Though he'll be used at DH in his first game back from the IL, Burger could end up settling in at first base if the Rangers elect to move super-utility man Josh Smith over to third base as a replacement for the struggling Josh Jung, who was demoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Returns as DH
Burger went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 6-0 win over Baltimore.
Burger was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and served as the designated hitter, while Josh Smith handled first base. He's likely to resume playing first base, as Smith may be needed to cover third base after the Rangers optioned Josh Jung to the minors Wednesday.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Begins rehab assignment
Burger (oblique) started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in a rehab game for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Expected back this weekend
Burger (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to the Rangers' road trip that begins Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Burger has been shelved since June 21 with a left oblique strain, but he's been cleared for rehab games and will require a brief minor-league assignment before being activated. The 29-year-old should see regular starts upon his return, likely bouncing between first base and designated hitter.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Hits IL
The Rangers placed Burger on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a strained left oblique.
Burger was removed from Friday's game with tightness in his left side, and further testing showed he suffered a strained left oblique. The Rangers recalled Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Burger is slashing .220/.253/.403 with 10 home runs in 249 plate appearances this season.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Removed with side tightness
Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with left side tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Burger seemed to grab at his left side after striking out in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, and he was replaced at first base when the Rangers took the field to play defense. The Rangers haven't yet provided details on the severity of his injury, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Homer, three hits in win
Burger went 3-for-6 with a solo home run, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 16-3 win over Minnesota.
Burger put the Rangers ahead for good with a solo shot off Bailey Ober in the second inning, his 10th homer of the year, before adding a pair of RBI singles later in the contest. The 29-year-old Burger has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with a pair of homers in his last four games, boosting his slash line to .225/.255/.421 with 28 RBI and 27 runs scored through 220 plate appearances this season.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Smacks homer in loss
Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.
Burger has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with three RBI over his last six games. The homer was his first since May 25 versus the White Sox. The infielder is up to eight homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles, one stolen base and a .220/.250/.407 slash line over 52 games this season. Burger continues to offer some power, but it has come with mediocre plate discipline and a low batting average this year.
