Jake Burger

The Marlins have traded Jake Burger to the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Burger should add some more power to the middle of the lineup for Texas. The Rangers sent prospects Max Acosta, Brayan Mendoza and Echedry Vargas back to Miami in the trade.

Jake Burger went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI in the Marlins' 15-5 rout of the 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.

Jake Burger went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, one run scored, and three RBI in the Marlins' 8-3 defeat to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's loss, Burger's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities. His season-long stats, including a .247 batting average and 29 home runs, suggest that while he offers significant power, his high strikeout rate (148 strikeouts) and low walk rate (38 walks) continue to limit his overall fantasy value. Fantasy managers should view Burger as a viable source of home runs and RBI, but be wary of the batting average and on-base percentage drag he brings to the table.

Jake Burger went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 20-4 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's rough outing, Burger managed to add a solo shot to his season tally, marking his 27th homer of the year. While his .243 batting average and high strikeout rate (26.3%) might deter some fantasy managers, his power numbers are solid, especially for a third baseman. Given his consistent home run production, Burger remains a viable fantasy option in leagues that favor power stats, though his low batting average and on-base percentages (.320 wOBA) could be a drag in more balanced formats.

Jake Burger went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Marlins' 4-1 loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores a season that's been a mixed bag for Burger, marked by a modest .246 batting average and a concerning strikeout rate of 26.1%. Despite his power numbers, with 25 homers on the year, his inability to consistently get on base (.316 wOBA) and high strikeout totals are red flags for fantasy managers. Looking ahead, while Burger provides some home run pop, his overall contribution might be limited by his batting average and on-base struggles. Fantasy managers should weigh these factors carefully, especially in formats that penalize strikeouts.
