Jake Burger On The Bench Saturday
5 months agoMiami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger is not in the starting lineup for Saturday afternoon's contest against the Seattle Mariners. The 28-year-old has just one base hit over his last five games and 22 trips to the plate and will get a chance to recharge while the Marlins take on a tough Mariners righty in Logan Gilbert. It's been a tough season as the plate for the former White Sox infielder who is hitting just .216 with six home runs alongside a .598 OPS across 54 games, production that grades out 33% below the league average, as per his 67 wRC+. It's worth noting that Burger dealt with an oblique injury earlier in the season but fantasy managers are no doubt frustrated following a 34-homer season in the 2023 campaign.
