Smashes 13th homer in win

Burger went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.

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.

Contributes to comeback win

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.

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.

Returns from 10-day IL

The Rangers activated Burger (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

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 give way to Rowdy Tellez at first base against most right-handers, though Burger may not serve as a strict platoon player, especially with Tellez having struggled to produce at the plate recently.

Could be activated Monday

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.

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.
