The Rangers placed Burger on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left wrist sprain, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger exited Sunday's game against the Royals due to wrist discomfort and an MRI revealed a sprain. The severity of the sprain is not clear, so it's unclear how much time Burger might miss. Rowdy Tellez should continue to see the bulk of the starts at first base against right-handed pitching, with Ezequiel Duran stepping in versus southpaws.

Manager Bruce Bochy said that Burger won't be available for at least a couple of days while he heads back to Texas to receive medical imaging on his left wrist, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger exited Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays due to left wrist discomfort, and there's enough concern about his injury for him to leave the team for a more thorough evaluation. The 29-year-old will miss at least the first couple games of the Rangers' upcoming series in Kansas City while the specifics of the injury are determined.

Burger was removed from Sunday's game against the Royals due to left wrist discomfort, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.
EDGE Analysis
Burger went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, so the first baseman should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Kansas City.

Burger went 1-for-1 with a walk-off RBI single in Monday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Burger didn't appear during the first nine innings but was called on to pinch-hit for Joc Pederson against lefty Andrew Saalfrank in the 10th inning, delivering a walk-off hit. Recently activated from the injured list Aug. 8, Burger will look to earn playing time in what has been a challenging season.

Burger is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Burger was in the lineup against lefties in each of his first two games after being activated from the injured list Friday. However, he has now retreated to the bench in two straight contests versus righties. Lefty swinger Rowdy Tellez will receive a second straight start at first base Monday.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After being reinstated from the injured list Friday, Burger started two straight games against left-handed starters. With Zack Wheeler on the mound Sunday, the slugger will head to the bench, and he may have to settle for short-side platoon work at first base and designated hitter given his struggles this season.

Burger (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Burger is back on the active roster for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 16 with a strained left quad. He'll immediately join the starting nine, slotting in at DH and batting seventh for Friday's series opener against Philadelphia. Alejandro Osuna was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Burger (quad) began a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Burger got back to hitting last Saturday after landing on the injured list July 16 with a left quad strain, and he said his goal was to return to the starting lineup by the time the Rangers begin their series against the Phillies next weekend. Barring any setbacks, his return to competitive action Saturday keeps him on pace to meet that expectation.

Burger (quad) will resume hitting Saturday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A left quad strain sent Burger to the injured list July 16, and if everything goes according to plan, the slugging infielder aims to return to the Rangers' lineup Aug. 8 against the Phillies. He still has a few more hurdles to clear before he embarks on a rehab assignment, however, so it's still too early to tell whether he'll meet his goal.
