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.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Homers in win
Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
Burger opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the second inning and then doubled and scored in the ninth. Since rejoining the Rangers on May 1, the 29-year-old has gone 14-for-48 with eight extra base hits and nine RBI over 13 games. On the year, he's slashing .223/.259/.426 with seven long balls, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base across 158 plate appearances.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Provides lone run in loss
Burger went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Burger continued a revival since being called up from a brief stay in the minors. He's hit safely in nine of 11 games since returning the majors, going 12-for-40 (.300) with three doubles, three home runs and seven RBI. Unfortunately for the Rangers, the offense was dormant once again, managing just three hits. Burger, who's spent much of his time in the lower half of the batting order, has been moved up to fourth and fifth the last two games.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Continues to find footing in 2025
Burger went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
Burger totaled a season-high nine bases, adding his first stolen base of the year to boot. The first baseman seems to have found a groove at the plate since returning from the minor leagues, hitting .344 (11-for-32) with three home runs, two doubles, six RBI and three runs scored over his last nine games. It's worth noting Burger got off to a slow start before heating up with Miami in 2024 -- he had a .635 OPS before the All-Star break before posting a .901 OPS during the second half last year.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Supplies lone run in win
Burger went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Astros.
Burger took Hunter Brown deep in the sixth inning for what would be the lone scoring play in the contest. Since returning from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Burger has gone 4-for-12 with two extra-base hits, three RBI, two walks and three strikeouts. The right-handed-hitting infielder is likely to see a strong share of playing time at first base while Josh Smith is covering for Corey Seager (hamstring) at shortstop. Burger is slashing .214/.262/.375 with four homers, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles across 122 plate appearances.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Logs hit in return to MLB
Burger started at first base and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.
Earlier Monday, Burger was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, where he spent the previous 10 days and batted .391 over six games. After getting on track in the minors, Burger should get the chance to take back a near-everyday role at first base, as Corey Seager's (hamstring) expected move to the injured list could result in Josh Smith (back) seeing more action at shortstop. Burger has thus far been a disappointment in his first season in Texas, slashing .194/.234/.330 with three home runs and a 29.7 percent strikeout rate over 111 plate appearances.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Rejoins big club
The Rangers recalled Burger from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Texas optioned Burger to Triple-A on May 2, but he'll rejoin the big club after spending the minimum 10 days in the minors. The Rangers demoted Burger with the hope that an assignment to a lower-pressure environment would help ignite his dormant bat, and the 29-year-old proceeded to hit .391 with two home runs and a 3:2 BB:K over six games to earn a call back to the big leagues. Burger had been serving as the Rangers' primary first baseman prior to his demotion, but it's not clear if he'll immediately be in store for a full-time role in his return to Texas. Super-utility man Josh Smith has been seeing more reps at first base of late and could remain a factor at that position if the Rangers want to keep more playing time open for Evan Carter in center field. At the very least, the right-handed-hitting Burger should play regularly against left-handed pitching.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Could be recalled Monday
The Rangers could recall Burger from Triple-A Round Rock prior to Monday's game against the Rockies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Burger has spent the necessary 10 days in the minors following his demotion, so he is now eligible for recall. The infielder has gone 9-for-23 and homered in back-to-back games at Round Rock, seemingly paving the way for him to get another shot as the Rangers' primary first baseman. Burger slashed only .190/.231/.330 in his first 30 contests for Texas before being sent down earlier this month.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Eligible to return to big leagues
Burger is eligible to be called up to the Rangers' major-league roster Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Burger was sent down to Triple-A Round Rock on May 2 after struggling to a .190/.231/.330 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 100 at-bats in 30 games with the Rangers to open the season. The righty bat has gone 9-for-23 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored over 23 at-bats in six games with Round Rock so far, and the Rangers may feel like they've seen enough to promote him back to the major-league roster in the near future.
