Tallies multi-hit game Burger went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Burger entered the game having gone hitless in his last nine at-bats while striking out five times. While he struck out two more times Tuesday, Burger also drove in his seventh run of the season with an infield single in the second inning. Burger has seen an increased opportunity with Yoan Moncada (oblique) sidelined, though he's struggled to a .250/.270/.383 line across 64 plate appearances. Burger's playing time is also likely to diminish significantly in the near future, as Moncada is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and could be activated from the injured list as early as Wednesday.

Slugs second homer Burger went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Burger led off the fourth inning with a home run off Zack Greinke to record his second long ball of the season. Two frames earlier he had recorded his second double of the campaign but was stranded at third base. This was a needed performance for Burger, as he had collected only three hits across his last 24 at-bats while striking out at a 30.4 percent clip. However, he's now recorded consecutive multi-hit games and should appear regularly in the lineup so long as Yoan Moncada (oblique) is sidelined.

Idle for second straight game Burger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Burger picked up starts in the White Sox's first two games of the season, but Josh Harrison has now replaced him at the hot corner in consecutive contests. The 26-year-old previously sat out Sunday with the Tigers bringing a lefty (Tarik Skubal) to the hill, and Burger's absence from the lineup Tuesday comes against a right-handed starting pitcher (Matt Brash). The usage suggests Burger isn't part of a platoon arrangement at third base, though he may still be limited to a part-time role even while Yoan Moncada (oblique) is likely out for at least the next couple of weeks.
