Reaches base twice Burger went 1-for-3 with a double, run scored, and a walk Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Burger drew the start at third base due to the absence of Yoan Moncada (oblique). Despite hitting ninth, Burger took advantage of his unexpected opportunity by roping a double to right field prior to coming around to score in the second inning. He is likely to get another start at third base Saturday because Tim Anderson remains suspended for the game, meaning Leury Garcia will shift to shortstop. Once Anderson is eligible to return on Sunday, the most likely outcome is that Burger will split time with Garcia at third base until Moncada is able to return.

Impact Less than a week after he was optioned to the minors, Burger will be rejoining the White Sox after Yoan Moncada was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Though the addition of Burger adds some reinforcement at third base, the 26-year-old won't necessarily be in store for a full-time role while Moncada is out. The Tigers are bringing a lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the mound Friday, so the righty-hitting Burger could just be included in the lineup due to the platoon advantage being in his favor. Per Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago, Andrew Vaughn was seen taking reps at the hot corner during Thursday's team workout and could be an option at the position, while utility man Leury Garcia may also factor into the equation at third base.

Opening at Triple-A Burger (ankle) was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact Burger battled ankle discomfort in late March but returned to game action with a homer Thursday against the Reds. An encouraging 2021 campaign saw him make his major-league debut after missing two seasons to Achilles injuries and another due to the canceled minor-league season, but he's stuck behind a number of bat-first players on the White Sox's depth chart. Yoan Moncada has Burger's spot at the hot corner blocked off for the foreseeable future, while Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets are stuck battling for at-bats at designated hitter as long as Jose Abreu remains the team's first baseman.

Sidelined at Triple-A with hand injury Triple-A Charlotte placed Burger on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a bone bruise on his right hand, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burger posted a strong .807 OPS over a 15-game stint with the White Sox in July before being optioned to Triple-A when the big club didn't have regular playing time available for him following Eloy Jimenez's return from the 60-day injured list. Upon returning to Charlotte, the 25-year-old third baseman played in just four games before going down with the injury. The White Sox haven't provided a timeline for Burger, but given the nature of his injury, he should have a good chance to return to action for Charlotte before the end of the minor-league season.

Headed back to Triple-A The White Sox optioned Burger to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Since receiving his first big-league call-up July 2, Burger had been seeing semi-regular at-bats as a third baseman and designated hitter. He appeared in 15 games, going 10-for-38 (.263 average) with a home run and three RBI across 42 plate appearances. Playing time was about to become more elusive for Burger with the White Sox welcoming back Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) from the 60-day injured list Monday, so the rookie will head back to Charlotte in order to play on an everyday basis.

Sits in third straight Burger remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact The lack of the designated hitter being available for the three-game series in Milwaukee has hurt Burger, who will go without a start on the weekend. The rookie should slot back into at least a part-time role during the upcoming week, when the White Sox kick off a seven-game slate versus a pair of American League opponents (Kansas City and Cleveland).

Two more hits Sunday Burger went 2-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Burger, who was called up Friday to fill-in for an injured Yoan Moncada (hand), finished off his first series in the majors with his second multi-hit game. He went 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits in his introduction to the show. Moncada took batting practice in the cage Sunday and is expected to be ready to go Monday. That, plus the pending activation of Adam Engel (hamstring) off the 10-day injured list, likely means Burger is headed back to Triple-A Charlotte.
