Jake Burger News
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday to face the Tigers in Detroit. Tristan Gray will get the start at the hot corner for the Fish while batting eighth against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. The 28-year-old Burger has gone just 2-for-29 since returning from the injured list, so he could use a day off. The recent cold stretch for Burger has dropped his season line to a dreadful .174/.215/.302 with three home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs scored. Gray, 28, was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and will be playing in just his fifth major-league game on Tuesday after debuting in two games with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023. He was hitting .227 with 10 home runs and 23 RBI in 143 plate appearances in the minors this year before his call-up. Gray is going to be a utility infielder for Miami for however long he's on the big-league roster.
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday and is back at third base while hitting third in the series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers and right-hander Walker Buehler, who is making his first start in the big leagues since 2022. Burger is returning from a left-intercostal strain that caused him to miss the last few weeks. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger isn't going to help your fantasy team's batting average, but his power potential makes him worth rostering in at least deep-mixed leagues. In 57 at-bats before going on the injured list, Burger was hitting .228 (13-for-57) with three home runs, 15 RBI and eight runs scored. Burger hit a career-high 34 home runs in 141 games last year with the Marlins and White Sox.
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger (intercostal) will begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville, according to manager Skip Schumaker. Burger has been doing full on-field workouts since April 26 in Miami after exiting the top of the fourth inning in an April 14 game against the Atlanta Braves with a left-oblique strain. He suffered a left-oblique strain last year, and he said this injury felt similar to that one. Burger is expected to come off the injured list on the team's upcoming road trip, which begins in Oakland against the A's this Friday. Emmanuel Rivera has been seeing regular playing time at the hot corner with Burger sidelined, but Burger should take over everyday duties when he returns. The 28-year-old was hitting .228 (13-for-57) with three home runs and 15 RBI at the time of his injury.
