Jake Burger In The Two-Hole Tuesday
2 years agoChicago White Sox third baseman Jake Burger is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second in the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen. Meanwhile, outfielder Andrew Benintendi is being moved down to No. 6 in the batting order against the southpaw pitcher. Burger was taking groundballs at second base prior to Tuesday's game as well, and manager Pedro Grifol said the 27-year-old could be an option at the keystone moving forward. The White Sox are looking for ways to keep Burger in the starting lineup due to the fact he's hitting .271 (26-for-96) on the year with six doubles, a triple, 10 home runs and 23 RBI in 31 games. He'll be even more attractive as a low-cost DFS commodity on Tuesday out of the two-hole.
