Jul 11, 2025; Houston, Texas, USA; Texas Rangers center fielder Evan Carter (32) and first baseman Jake Burger (21) score on an RBI double by designated hitter Jonah Heim (not pictured) during the third inning against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers placed first baseman Jake Burger on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left quadriceps injury.
The move is retroactive to Sunday.
Burger sustained the injury while running out a grounder during the top of the fifth inning of Friday's 7-3 win over the Houston Astros. He left the game before the bottom of the sixth.
Burger, 29, was utilized as a pinch-hitter on Saturday and then scratched from Sunday's lineup after initially being listed as the designated hitter.
Burger is batting .228 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs in 75 games this season.
The Rangers didn't immediately make a corresponding move since their next game isn't until Friday due to the All-Star break. Texas will host the major league-leading Detroit Tigers in the opener of a three-game set.
