Burger is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Burger's six-game hitting streak was put to an end Friday, as he struck out in all three of his at-bats. He'll get a chance to regroup Saturday while Josh Smith starts at first, opening up left field for Dustin Harris.

Burger went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Burger returned to the lineup after missing one game due to an illness and recorded his first multi-hit game of the season. A slow start has given way to hot stretch for the first baseman. Burger, who batted .105 over his first 11 games, has now hit safely in five straight, going 7-for-19 with a double, two RBI and a run scored.

Burger (illness) will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Burger missed Tuesday's tilt due to illness but feels well enough to give it a go in this one. The first baseman's tenure with the Rangers hasn't gotten off to an ideal start, as he'll carry a .484 OPS into play Wednesday.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After Marcus Semien led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo homer, Burger extended the Rangers' cushion with a three-run blast in the same frame. It was Burger's second homer of the season, and the knock snapped an 0-for-11 run.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 14-3 loss to Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Burger's two-run shot in the ninth inning was little consolation for the Rangers, who were down 6-0 after two innings and 14-0 before they got on the scoreboard. The homer was Burger's first of the season. The first baseman has reached base safely in four of the first five games, scoring four runs and knocking in three.

Burger went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's spring game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Burger has a hit in three straight games, including his first home run as a member of the Rangers on Thursday. The move to Texas could prove beneficial for the slugging first baseman, who will play half of his games at Globe Life Field, the fourth-best park in the league for right-handed power by MLB's three-year rolling park factors.

The Marlins traded Burger to the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Echedry Vargas, Max Acosta and Brayan Mendoza, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins will plunge even further into their full-scale rebuild by trading away Burger, who slashed .265/.315/.472 and launched 38 home runs during his 190-game tenure in Miami. Now with the Rangers, the 28-year-old slugger's easiest path to playing time is likely as Texas' third baseman, though his subpar defense could cause him to move into the DH spot.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Miami got off to a fiery start Wednesday, as Burger's three-run homer was one of five straight baserunners for the team to open the contest. However, the Marlins didn't score over the remaining eight frames, and Burger struck out in three of his remaining four at-bats (though he also recorded a double). The slugger has gone deep four times in his past eight games and needs one more long ball to reach 30 for the second straight season.
