Jake Burger News
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger (oblique) is heading to the injured list on Monday with a left-oblique injury. He compared the discomfort on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves to last year when he suffered a similar injury while with the Chicago White Sox, when he missed 10 days. The Marlins will call up infielder Otto Lopez, who was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on April 4. Lopez can play shortstop, second base and third base and last appeared in the big leagues in 2022. Hopefully for fantasy managers, the 28-year-old Burger only needs to miss the minimum 10 days on the IL. In his absence, Emmanuel Rivera is likely to see most of the starts at the hot corner for the Fish. In his first 16 games of 2024, Burger had three homers and 15 RBI despite hitting just .228 (13-for-57). UPDATE: Burger officially went on the IL with a left intercostal muscle strain.
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger left Sunday's game early after experiencing left oblique discomfort. The 28-year-old was replaced by Emmanuel Rivera after taking one at-bat. Burger will likely undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Burger has been relatively productive to start the campaign with three home runs and 15 RBI, but his .228/.281/.421 slash line leaves a bit to be desired. Rivera and Vidal Brujan may see more reps if Burger misses time, but neither are interesting fantasy options.
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger kept his foot on the gas during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the New York Yankees, cranking his second home run of the young season. Burger took Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman yard to deep center to bring home Luis Arraez and Nick Fortes for a three-run shot as part of a four-run Miami fourth inning. Although Burger didn't hit well during spring training, he's up to a productive .260/.291/.480 triple-slash line with three taters and an MLB-high 15 RBI over 50 at-bats to this point. The righty-hitting infielder faces two left-handers and an underperforming Atlanta Braves rotation during a three-game weekend set with the division rivals starting on Friday, but all three of Burger's homers have come against right-handed pitching this season.
