Jake Burger has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left quad strain, effective retroactively to July 13, which means he will miss five games if he returns quickly. Burger sustained the injury while running out a ground ball during a recent game against the Astros. Ezequiel Duran is currently filling the first base position, and the Rangers are considering recalling players from the minors or bringing up Rowdy Tellez. General Manager Chris Young is actively seeking improvements for the first base spot as Burger’s performance has been subpar this season.
Jake Burger has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain, retroactive to July 13, missing five games in total if recovery is minimal.
Ezequiel Duran filled in at first base for Burger, who suffered the injury running out a ground ball during a win in Houston last Friday.
The Rangers could recall a backup infielder from the minors or consider Rowdy Tellez, who is performing well at Triple-A Round Rock, as a potential replacement.
General Manager Chris Young is looking to strengthen first base following Burger's second injured list stint and his underperformance in the season.
