Jake Burger sizzles with three hits against Blue Jays

Fantasy Impact:

This performance, though solid, is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Burger, batting .251 through 135 games. His power numbers are respectable with 29 homers, but his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should view Burger as a decent source of power and RBI, but his batting average and on-base percentage might not see significant improvement without a decrease in strikeouts or an uptick in walks. His performance in this game, while helpful, likely doesn't signal a major turnaround.
