  • Clubs sixth homer
    Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

    Advice: The third baseman appears to be breaking out of his early season slump. Burger has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .333/.373/.479 over that stretch and going yard twice in the last four contests. His 31.4 percent strikeout rate during that time is still a concern, however. On the season, the 28-year-old is batting .228 with only six homers in 47 games, a far cry from the 34 in 141 games he slugged in 2023. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:40 am

  • Burger blasts sixth home run Thursday
    Jake Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a home run against the Mets on Thursday.

    Advice: Burger’s home run was just his sixth of the season in 47 games after homering 34 times in 141 games last year. His .128 ISO isn’t even half of the .268 ISO he had last year. On the bright side, he’s 21-for-64 (.328) with three home runs in his last 16 games to bring his average up to .222. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:00 pm

  • Salvages day with late homer
    Burger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Burger went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his first three plate appearances Sunday but flipped his production in the ninth inning with a solo homer off Emmanuel Clase. The long ball was his fifth of the year and just his second in 31 games. On the season, Burger owns a .597 OPS but is striking out at a 24.4 percent clip, which would be a career low if it holds.
