Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the fourth inning by taking Martin Perez deep, continuing a power surge that has seen Burger launch seven homers in the last 11 games while slashing .311/.347/.800 with 11 RBI. The improved performance at the plate could be due to his reduced defensive responsibilities -- he's played third base only three times during that stretch while lining up at first base and DH four times each. Burger is batting .242 on the season with 20 home runs and 50 RBI in 94 contests.

Burger went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Both blasts came off Andrew Abbott, as Burger took the southpaw deep in the first and fifth innings. The 28-year-old has found his power stroke since the All-Star break, slashing .296/.362/.718 over the last 19 games with nine of his 17 homers on the season, but the patchwork lineup around him hasn't given him many opportunities to drive in runs with them -- Burger has only 14 RBI to show for those nine long balls.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Burger has logged five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, and he's added five homers, eight RBI and a double over that span. The infielder got Miami on the board with his third-inning solo shot and added another RBI with a single in the fifth as part of the comeback effort. Burger's power was largely absence early in the season, as he hit just four homers over his first 38 games, but he's up to 17 long balls, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, no stolen bases and a .242/.288/.434 slash line through 88 contests this year.

The 28-year-old Burger has been heating up at the plate -- he's homered in back-to-back games while going 7-for-20 with three long balls in his last five contests. Overall, Burger is slashing .235/.282/.416 through 351 plate appearances this year with 15 homers, 42 RBI and 38 runs scored.
