Apr 29, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Texas Rangers first base Jake Burger (21) tosses his bat after being hit by a pitch during the second inning against the Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Field. Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers recalled veteran infielder Jake Burger from Triple-A Round Rock and optioned first baseman Blaine Crim as the team prepared to host the Colorado Rockies in the first of a three-game set on Monday.
Burger struggled out of the gate with his new team, hitting only .190 in 30 games. He hit three home runs and drove in 12 runs for Texas to open the 2025 campaign, but had fanned 32 times in 100 at-bats and was demoted after Miami’s 3-0 loss to the Athletics on May 1.
He was sent down to Round Rock on May 2 and picked up his production in his last five minor league games. The 29-year-old, now with his third organization in the last three seasons, recorded multiple hits in four of his last five outings, including home runs on May 10 and 11 at El Paso.
Burger produced 63 home runs and drove in 156 runs from 2023-24. After hitting 25 homers in 88 games for the White Sox to start the 2023 season, he was dealt to Miami on Aug. 1. He added nine more long balls for Miami in 53 games, then paced the Marlins with 29 home runs in 137 games in 2024.
Burger was dealt to the Rangers for three players in December 2024.
Crim was hitless in 13 plate appearances, drawing one walk and one hit by pitch in a span of five games for Texas.
