Jake Burger Should be Ready to Return This Weekend
Jake Burger (oblique) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday and should be ready to return from the 10-day injured list for the start of the team's road trip this weekend in San Diego against the Padres, according to Jeff Wilson. President of baseball operations Chris Young thinks Burger will be back on Friday. The 29-year-old Burger has been out since June 21 with a strained left oblique. The former first-rounder by the Chicago White Sox in 2017 out of Missouri State has plenty of power but also a lot of swing and miss to his game. Burger has 10 homers in 236 at-bats and is hitting .220 (52-for-236) in his first year in Texas. He was briefly sent down to the minors amid a slump earlier this year, but he should see regular playing time when he's back between first base and designated hitter.
