“It’s unbelievable,” Burger said. “A year ago, I definitely didn’t think I was going to be at this point. It’s been really fun getting to do it with a great clubhouse and a lot of great dudes and a lot of guys I started this with. It’s been a lot of fun.”
The Sox called up Burger from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of a July 2 game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. He got two hits that evening and has provided depth at third base and designated hitter since.
“You always have nerves no matter where you’re going to play,” Burger said.
