2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Rangers acquired Burger to replace Nathaniel Lowe at first base prior to the 2025 season as part of a roster shakeup to add more pop. Burger, the opposite of the patient Lowe, swung at everything (3.2 BB%) while tattooing the ball (48.5 hard-hit%), but he got off to a slow start and was eventually demoted to Triple-A in early May. The righty hitter returned to the majors then spent three separate stints on the injured list for separate reasons (oblique, quad, wrist). Burger isn't blessed with an athlete's body type, so one can see injuries piling up now that he's on the other side of 30. He underwent October surgery on the wrist with a two-month return timeline. The Rangers may consider additional roster moves, including the present configuration at corner infield. Burger, Joc Pederson and Josh Jung all underperformed in 2025. Burger still has good bat-to-ball skills and 30-homer power. Under team control for another three years, Burger is expected to return at a relatively cheap number and be used in rotation at 1B and DH. Read Past Outlooks
