Rangers’ Jake Burger returns to Texas with wrist injury
Texas Rangers infielder Jake Burger will miss at least two or three games due to a left wrist injury, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Burger, who connected a single producer in Sunday’s 10-4 victory over Toronto, was replaced by Ezequiel Duran in the seventh inning.The Rangers will begin a three-game series in Kansas City on Monday. Burger is batting .242 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs. In his last 18 games, he has driven in 12 runs and scored nine. The player felt discomfort in his first at-bat on Saturday, but was able to continue playing.“It’s a shame because he was hitting well,” Bochy said about Burger. “He’s going to go home to get checked out. He’ll have an MRI and we’ll find out what’s going on. He’ll probably be out at least two or three days.”

Burger has already been out of action for two injuries this season. He missed 10 games between June 21 and July 2 due to a left oblique strain, and then was out 20 games between July 13 and August 8 due to a left quadriceps strain.“I don’t feel like I’m swinging the bat like I normally do,” Burger said. “I really hope it’s just a quick fix and move on.”
