Jake Burger Stats

Chicago White Sox infielder Jake Burger has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Burger made his big-league debut on July 2. Burger overcame two ruptured Achilles and has accomplished many hurdles throughout his young career to get to where he is at in his career. Burger hit .263 with one home run and three RBI in 38 at-bats, but it's probably best for both him and the White Sox that he gets everyday at-bats in Triple-A. Burger may not have much value in redraft leagues, but he is a name to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues and for next season.

The Chicago White Sox are calling up third base prospect Jake Burger from Triple-A Charlotte after Yoan Moncada bruised his hand in the game on Thursday. Moncada is expected to miss the next three games over the weekend against the Detroit Tigers. Burger, 25, has hit .471/.518/.843 in his last 12 games at Charlotte. The team's No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has persevered through two Achilles tears to make it to the Show, and he was also named to the All-Star Futures Game. The former first-round pick has nine multi-hit performances in his last 12 games, including 10 extra-base hits. With Moncada looking at a possible injured list stint, Burger could be a short-term power option in AL-only leagues in a strong White Sox lineup.
