Burger was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger had to be taken out of the game after making an error throwing to the plate in the third inning. The Marlins will take a look at him and should provide more details shortly, but Burger seemed to be grabbing at his quad as he left the field. He should be viewed as day-to-day for now.

Burger went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Burger reached base and came around to score in each of his first two trips to the plate before adding a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to put the Marlins on top 7-5. It marked the third baseman's third consecutive multi-hit game, while the home run was his 32nd of the season. Burger continues to perform at a high level since being acquired by Miami at the start of August. He's racked up four homers, eight RBI and 11 runs scored through 15 games in September.

Burger 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old slugger capped the scoring on the night by launching a Joe La Sorsa sinker over the wall in right-center field in the ninth inning. Burger's up to 28 homers on the season, and while Thursday's blast was only his third in 26 games since joining the Marlins, he boasts a .323/.380/.485 slash line with his new club.

Burger went 4-for-7 with a run scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Burger was solid at the plate, collecting four of the Marlins' 13 hits between the two games. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a span in which he's gone 19-for-43 (.442) with six extra-base hits and nine RBI. He's at a .240/.305/.528 slash line with 27 home runs, 63 RBI, 52 runs scored and a stolen base through 105 contests between the Marlins and the White Sox this year. He's maintained steady playing time since he joined Miami.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 11-3 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Burger's third-inning blast -- one of three Marlins homers in the inning -- blew the game open for the visitors. He extended his hitting streak to nine games (15-for-36), though the long ball was just his second in 15 contests since he was traded from the White Sox. The third baseman is at a .234/.298/.527 slash line with 27 homers, 63 RBI, 51 runs scored, a stolen base and 20 doubles over 103 games this season.

Burger went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Burger has now hit safely in eight straight games, going 14-for-32 (.438) in that span. He's only hit one homer since joining Miami at the trade deadline, but he's now batting .340 (18-for-53) with an .888 OPS through 14 contests with his new team. Overall, the 27-year-old Burger is slashing .233/.297/.522 with 26 homers, 60 RBI and 50 runs scored through 381 plate appearances between the Marlins and White Sox.

Burger went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
His last hit was the biggest, as Burger delivered a walk-off RBI single to complete an improbable five-run comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 27-year-old is thriving in Miami, reeling off three straight multi-hit performances and slashing .317/.391/.488 through his first 11 games with his new club.

Burger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
His ninth-inning shot off Will Smith made things interesting, but the Marlins couldn't complete the comeback. Burger began the game on the bench, but when Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) exited in the third inning, the trade-deadline acquisition took over at third base while Jon Berti shifted to the outfield. The homer was Burger's first with Miami in four games and his 26th of the season, but his .214/.282/.523 slash line mutes the value of his power in most fantasy formats.

Burger is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger started the past three games after being acquired by Miami on Tuesday and will head to the bench Saturday after he went 2-for-11 with two walks and a run. Jon Berti will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

The Marlins acquired Burger from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Jake Eder, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burger will provide a power boost to a Marlins team that currently ranks 28th in the majors in home runs. He's popped 25 homers and his .527 SLG would rank as a top-10 mark if he had enough plate appearances to qualify. The 27-year-old has been rather one-dimensional as evidenced by his .214 average and .279 OBP; nevertheless, Burger figures to take over the starting job at third base from Jean Segura.
