Burger went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was Burger's 13th of the year to extend his hitting streak to five games. The infielder had a .658 OPS as of June 20, though he's performed far better at the plate since then as he tries to salvage a disappointing season. Since the start of July, Burger is batting .324 with six extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over his last 71 plate appearances to increase his OPS to .703 for the campaign.

Burger went 1-for-2 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Burger was activated off the injured list Monday but did not start the game. He entered as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning and delivered a run-producing triple before scoring the tying run that sent the game into the extra frame. He finished out at first base. Burger may not return to a full-time role, per Jesse Borek of MLB.com. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said the club will "pick our spots" with Burger, who is still dealing with residual issues in his wrist. The Rangers have no shortage of options on the roster that can fill in at first base, including Rowdy Tellez, Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran.

The Rangers activated Burger (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Burger missed the past two weeks of action with a sprained left wrist but has been cleared to return to action after facing live pitching at the Rangers' spring training facility. The 29-year-old will likely yield to Rowdy Tellez at first base against most right-handers, though it might not be a strict short-side platoon role for Burger.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that Burger (wrist) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger wasn't sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment since landing on the injured list Aug. 18 due to a left wrist sprain, but he's been able to face live pitching at the Rangers' facility in Arizona and appears to be ready for game action. Whenever he's activated, Burger is likely to step back into the short side of a platoon at first base with the left-handed-hitting Rowdy Tellez.

Burger (wrist) has begun swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger's sprain appears to be on the milder side, and he could rejoin the Rangers after a minimum 10-day stay on the injured list. While he's been unavailable, Texas is using Rowdy Tellez at first base against righties and Ezequiel Duran against lefties.

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.
