• White Sox's Jake Burger: Sitting again for Sunday's game

  2D ago •

  Burger is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. He hasn't logged an official at-bat since June 26 -- this marks his sixth straight absence from the starting lineup. Yoan Moncada's return from the injured list has made Burger an afterthought, even after the 26-year-old Burger posted an .887 OPS in the month of June.

  Burger is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Angels. He was also out of the lineup Monday, so that makes it two days in a row that Burger has sat against a right-handed pitcher. The lefty-hitting Gavin Sheets drew the start both days, so while Burger has been productive this season, he may be on the short side of a platoon for now.

  Burger went 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Burger led off the seventh inning with a triple and came around to score on a single by Reese McGuire. With Yoan Moncada (hamstring) back on the injured list, Burger has a clear path to playing time at third base. He has an impressive .790 OPS across 167 plate appearances on the season.

  Burger will sit Tuesday against Toronto. Burger should find himself in the lineup on a regular basis until Yoan Moncada returns from a hamstring injury, but he won't play every day. Danny Mendick will be the third baseman Tuesday, while Andrew Vaughn serves as the designated hitter.
