Burger is in the running to earn a roster spot to begin the season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Burger has made a strong case for a roster spot with both his bat and glove this spring. He's slugged four home runs and a double across 59 plate appearances during Cactus League action, though that's been offset by 18 strikeouts. Adding to Burger's appeal is that he added first base to his defensive repertoire, giving him some additional versatility as compared to the 2022 campaign.... See More ... See Less

White Sox's Jake Burger: Showing power this spring
Burger has four home runs through 15 Cactus League games. He has also struck out 12 times through 35 at-bats, but the power is certainly encouraging. Burger, 26, appears to be locked into an Opening Day roster spot with the White Sox and deserves to see regular playing time out of the gate versus left-handed pitching. A first-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, he boasts a career .892 OPS against southpaws in limited action as a major leaguer.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Makes late return at Triple-A
Burger (wrist) was reinstated from Triple-A Charlotte's 7-day injured list Sept. 23 and went 5-for-26 with a triple and three runs over the club's final six games of the season. Burger suffered a non-displaced left wrist fracture in late August, but he was able to make his return to action after about a month-long absence. Unless the White Sox are in need of another position player over the final two days of the regular season, Burger will rest up at home before beginning offseason workouts. Over his 183 plate appearances with Chicago earlier this season, the 26-year-old hit .250 with eight home runs and 26 RBI.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Ramps up hitting program
Burger (wrist) ramped up his hitting program Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Burger broke his left wrist when he was hit by a pitch while playing for Triple-A Charlotte in late August. He still has time to build back up before the end of the regular season, though he's running out of time to make much of an impact.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Dealing with fractured wrist
Burger is expected to miss several weeks due to a non-displaced left wrist fracture, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Burger dealt with a hand issue earlier this season and sustained his most recent injury when he was hit by a pitch Aug. 20. The 26-year-old was placed on the 7-day injured list this week but will likely need to spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf prior to returning to action at Triple-A Charlotte....

White Sox's Jake Burger: Activated, optioned down
Burger (hand) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Burger owns a .760 OPS at the big-league level this season, but with the White Sox almost fully healthy, he will head to the minors for the time being. Expect him to rejoin the big club before the campaign comes to a close.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Beginning rehab assignment
Burger (hand) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Burger was expected to begin a rehab assignment in mid-July but was delayed by a week and a half due to an illness. The 26-year-old has been on the injured list since July 6 due to a bone bruise in his right hand, but he seems to be on track to be activated this weekend or sometime next week.... See More ...

White Sox's Jake Burger: Rehab delayed by illness
Burger (hand) won't begin his rehab assignment Friday as previously reported, as he's come down with an illness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Burger was supposed to start working his way back from a bruised right hand with Triple-A Charlotte but will wait at least one more day to do so. It already seemed likely that the White Sox would wait to activate him until the beginning of the second half, so this delay may not actually affect his ultimate return date unless the illness winds up costing him more than a day or two....

White Sox's Jake Burger: Begins rehab assignment
Burger (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Burger has been out with a bone bruise in his right hand. He'll be eligible to return Saturday, but the White Sox may elect to keep him on the injured list until after the All-Star break to buy him some extra time to heal.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Lands on 10-day IL
Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a bone bruise in his right hand. Burger had lost out on playing time recently following Yoan Moncada's return from the IL, and he's now dealing with a hand injury that will force him to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the 26-year-old will return to action, but he'll be eligible to be activated shortly before the All-Star break. Since he hadn't started in any of the eight games prior to landing on the injured list, he isn't guaranteed a spot on the active roster once he's deemed fully healthy.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Sits again Tuesday
Burger is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Angels. He was also out of the lineup Monday, so that makes it two days in a row that Burger has sat against a right-handed pitcher. The lefty-hitting Gavin Sheets drew the start both days, so while Burger has been productive this season, he may be on the short side of a platoon for now.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Day off Monday
Burger isn't starting Monday's game against the Angels. Burger started in the last five games and went 4-for-19 with a triple, two RBI, a run and five strikeouts. Josh Harrison will shift to the hot corner while Lenyn Sosa starts at second base Monday.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Tallies first triple
Burger went 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Burger led off the seventh inning with a triple and came around to score on a single by Reese McGuire. With Yoan Moncada (hamstring) back on the injured list, Burger has a clear path to playing time at third base. He has an impressive .790 OPS across 167 plate appearances on the season....

White Sox's Jake Burger: Sleeper hitters for Week 12 (June 20-26)
Recently back from a bruised hand, Burger is looking to continue a torrid stretch in which his premium exit velocities have finally begun to yield big power. He has the right matchups to do so, going against bottom feeders like Ross Stripling, Dean Kremer, Kyle Bradish and Jordan Lyles... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Returns to lineup
Burger (hand) will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Astros. Burger exited Monday's game against the Tigers after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. He avoided anything worse than a bruise but nevertheless needed three days to heal before returning to action. His return will be a boost to the White Sox's lineup, as he's hit .273/.322/.508 with eight homers in 38 games this season.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Won't return before Friday
Burger (hand) will return Friday against the Astros at the earliest, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Burger was hit in the hand by a pitch Monday against the Tigers and wound up leaving the game. He's out of the lineup Tuesday and will remain out Wednesday as well, as the White Sox want to take advantage of Thursday's scheduled off day to give him a full three days off to rest his hand.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Not starting Tuesday
Burger (hand) will sit Tuesday against the Tigers. Burger left Monday's game against the Tigers after a pitch hit his hand. His X-rays were negative and he hasn't been diagnosed with anything worse than a bruise, but he'll nevertheless get at least one day to recover. Andrew Vaughn will serve as the designated hitter, with Adam Engel starting in right field.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Leaves after HBP
Burger was removed from Monday's game against Tigers after being struck on the hand by a pitch, and he's been diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays came back negative, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Burger was able to finish the at-bat after it was determined he swung at the pitch he was hit by, but he was removed shortly after. He was quickly diagnosed with a bruised right hand after being sent for X-rays and will be considered day-to-day moving forward.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Possible waiver wire pickups
Between Yoan Moncada's continued struggles and Gavin Sheets' demotion to the minors, Jake Burger appears to have settled into a regular role in the White Sox lineup. Actually, it's more like he's seized it, batting .433 (13 for 30) with four homers in his past eight games. It brings his full-season numbers up to a .277 batting average and .842 OPS, which is better than you're probably used to seeing at third base. His strikeout rate is still up near 30 percent, which brings with it considerable risk, but the former first-round pick has always rated high for quality of contact and is in the 96th percentile for maximum exit velocity. His recent production could be legit.... See More ... See Less -
White Sox's Jake Burger: Good to go
Burger (leg) will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Rangers. Burger exited late in Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent leg injury, but whatever was ailing him evidently wasn't particularly serious. He's been in great form recently, going 8-for-16 with three homers across his last five games, so it's great news for the White Sox that he won't miss any time.... See More ... See Less
