Jake Burger's first season with the Texas Rangers has been one disaster after another.
Traded to an AL West contender in the offseason, the first baseman had a 2025 campaign that was a combination of underperformance and injuries. Now his offseason is injury-riddled as well. Burger started the postseason with surgery on his wrist. The hope is that he'll be 100% by Spring Training.
Jake Burger's bad 2025 season gets worse
Burger, who broke a 2-for-28 skid with a two-run single in the third inning of the season finale, confirmed with The Dallas Morning News Sunday that he will have surgery later this week to repair a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, a lingering issue from an injury he sustained in mid-August, only days after he'd returned from an injured list stint.
