Jake Burger Removed With Injury

Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger (quad) was removed early from Wednesday's game against the New York Mets due to right quad tightness. While he should be considered day-to-day, it is something to watch, as leg injuries can be tricky and Burger has been a nice fantasy contributor since being traded to the Marlins. The 27-year-old has hit .310/.366/.524 with eight home runs over 44 games for Miami. Stay tuned to see if the team provides any updates and what they may be.

Jake Burger Continues Red-Hot Start In Miami

Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 11-3 blowout win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 27-year-old slammed a fifth-inning three-shot as part of a five-homer attack by Miami in this one. In a limited sample size, Burger has immediately provided the slugging the Marlins were in desperate need of at the trade deadline. Since joining the Fish, the hard-hitting infielder is slashing .333/.397/.526 with two bombs, five doubles, and 11 RBI in 63 plate appearances. Burger leads the National League with 11.4 barrels per PA, so fantasy managers should add him if they need power numbers.

Jake Burger Walks It Off Against Yankees

Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger was the hero on Sunday in the team's 8-7 walk-off win against the visiting New York Yankees. Burger went 3-for-5 on the day with two RBI and two strikeouts, and he provided a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to complete a five-run comeback over New York. The Marlins acquired Burger from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline earlier this month to give them some more offensive firepower, and he's done just that. The 27-year-old slugger has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with a homer, four doubles, six RBI and four runs score in 11 games so far for the Fish. Overall, Burger is hitting just .227 (76-for-335) on the year but with 26 long balls, 58 RBI and 48 runs in 99 total games played.

Jake Burger Not In The Starting Lineup Against Texas

Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. This looks to just be a day off for the hard-hitting 27-year-old. Burger is slashing .213/.282/.515 with 25 home runs, 52 RBI, and one stolen base over 305 at-bats on the year. He is still looking for his first home run as a member of the Marlins but that should come soon enough. Jon Berti is staring at the hot corner and batting sixth against Jon Gray and the Rangers.

Josh Bell, Jake Burger Making Marlins Debuts Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielders Josh Bell and Jake Burger are both in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler. The Marlins acquired the former AL Central players prior to Tuesday's MLB trade deadline as Bell will man first base out of the three-hole while Burger gets the nod at third base and will hit sixth in his Marlins debut. Bell, 30, hasn't had his best season at the plate in 2023 as he's hitting just .233 with 11 home runs and a .701 OPS across 97 games on the season. Burger, however, has enjoyed a fruitful campaign, hitting just .214 but also launched 25 home runs alongside an .806 OPS across 88 appearances with the White Sox.

White Sox Land Prospect Jake Eder From Marlins

The Chicago White Sox are acquiring left-handed pitching prospect Jake Eder from the Miami Marlins in exchange for third baseman Jake Burger on Tuesday, according to sources. Eder was the Marlins' No. 4 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old southpaw already had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and has posted a 4.12 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 21 walks and 48 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings over nine starts this year with Single-A Jupiter and Double-A Pensacola. There's a lot to like about Eder's fastball-slider combination, and he's also developing a nice changeup as his third offering. Given Miami's pretty stacked stable of pitching prospects, Eder could reach the majors quicker in his new home in Chicago.

Marlins Acquire Jake Burger From White Sox

The Miami Marlins acquired third baseman Jake Burger from the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Jake Eder, according to sources. The Marlins were in serious need of pop in their lineup, and Burger will accomplish that while likely taking over as the regular third baseman from Jean Segura. Burger has plenty of pop (25 home runs in 294 at-bats this year), but he has a weak .214 batting average (63-for-294) with 102 strikeouts and just 22 walks in 323 plate appearances in Chicago in 2023. Burger's fantasy value should see a slight boost in terms of the lineup around him, but he's also leaving more of a hitter-friendly park in Chicago for more of a pitcher-friendly one in Miami.

Jake Burger Homers Twice On Thursday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Jake Burger had a big night in a 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Burger went 2-for-3 with two homers, a walk, and three RBI in the losing effort. The 27-year-old infielder was the only Chicago hitter who could get to Cleveland rookie right-hander Tanner Bibee in the loss, driving in all of his team's runs via the long ball. Burger is now slashing .217/.273/.528 with 24 homers, 42 runs, 51 RBI, and a steal. He will look to stay hot against Cleveland's Xzavion Curry on Friday.

Jake Burger Out Of Lineup Against Blue Jays

Chicago White Sox third baseman Jake Burger will start on the bench on Wednesday as the team takes on the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. Zach Remillard will get the start at third base and bat eighth in the lineup against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Burger has a useful 18 home runs on the year, but that's about where his fantasy contributions end. The 27-year-old right-handed hitter has gone 8-for-61 (.131) with two home runs, two doubles, two RBI and 25 strikeouts in 17 games played since June 16 to drop his season slash line to .217/.272/.513 in 68 games in his third big-league season. If Burger doesn't start picking it up soon, he could begin to lose more playing time in the second half of the season.
