Rangers' Jake Burger: Launches homer off bench
Burger went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Burger has gone 5-for-15 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI during a four-game hitting streak. He was on the bench to start Wednesday, but he came in as a pinch hitter for Joc Pederson in the sixth inning and stayed in the game at first base. Burger is up to five homers, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles while batting .254 with an .805 OPS through 18 contests this season. Burger was limited to 16 long balls in 103 contests last year, but he's found a bit more power early in 2026 despite striking out at a 31.1 percent clip thus far.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and a walk in an 8-1 win over the Athletics on Monday.

The powerful first baseman tagged Severino for another homer -- this time a solo shot -- in the eighth. Burger went deep in each of his first two games this season, but he hadn't homered again until Monday. He's at a .246/.279/.492 slash line, four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs through 68 plate appearances on the campaign.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Another home run in victory
Burger went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
Burger had a big spring training and has carried it over to start the regular season. After homering in Thursday's season-opening 5-3 loss, Burger again went deep Saturday, taking a knuckle curve from Aaron Nola over the fence in the top of the third inning. Burger later added a single in the eighth inning. Through two games, Burger has gone 5-for-9 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI, though he's also struck out four times and committed two errors already.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Hot spring carries over
Burger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Philadelphia.
Burger, who started at first base and batted cleanup, picked up where he left off in the Cactus League. The righty slugger posted a .327/.413/.592 slash line with four home runs and 14 RBI over 19 games in spring training. His spring production and Opening Day homer suggest a potential rebound campaign for Burger, who endured a trying 2025 season. He dealt with a couple of soft-tissue injuries and eventually underwent offseason surgery to address a condition in his left wrist that bugged him during the season.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Swats spring homer
Burger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.
Burger is coming off a disappointing season in which he made three trips to the injured list for various reasons. He's healthy to start camp and looking to regain the 30-homer stroke he showed off in 2023 and 2024 when playing for the Marlins. The right-handed-hitting Burger will be part of the rotation at first base and designated hitter.
