Knocks three hits
Burger went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Analiz
Burger's hitting streak is up to six games, a span in which he has gone 9-for-24 (.375) with three home runs and 10 RBI. The first baseman is hitting .275 with an .811 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 10 runs scored and four doubles across 20 contests this season. Burger's never hit higher than .250 in a full season, so his average may not last throughout the year, but he's in a good spot for run production as the Rangers' primary cleanup hitter.

Launches homer off bench
Burger went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Analiz
Burger has gone 5-for-15 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI during a four-game hitting streak. He was on the bench to start Wednesday, but he came in as a pinch hitter for Joc Pederson in the sixth inning and stayed in the game at first base. Burger is up to five homers, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles while batting .254 with an .805 OPS through 18 contests this season. Burger was limited to 16 long balls in 103 contests last year, but he's found a bit more power early in 2026 despite striking out at a 31.1 percent clip thus far.

Idle Wednesday
Burger isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analiz
Burger will get a day to rest Wednesday after going 3-for-8 with two homers and five RBI through the first two games of the series. Joc Pederson will fill in for him at first base, moving Wyatt Langford into the DH spot while Ezequiel Duran patrols left field.

Powers offense with two homers
Burger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and a walk in an 8-1 win over the Athletics on Monday.
Analiz
Burger gave the Rangers all the runs they would need with a three-run blast off Luis Severino in the first inning. The powerful first baseman tagged Severino for another homer -- this time a solo shot -- in the eighth. Burger went deep in each of his first two games this season, but he hadn't homered again until Monday. He's at a .246/.279/.492 slash line, four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs through 68 plate appearances on the campaign.

Cooling off
Burger went 1-for-5 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Analiz
Burger struck out in his first three plate appearances Sunday to extend a hitless run to 18 consecutive at-bats before a seventh-inning single ended the skid. Following a quick start out of the blocks, the cleanup batter has gone 5-for-39 (.128) over the last 10 games and has just one RBI in the last 11.
