Burger will be optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Burger has gotten off to a dreadful start in his first season with the Rangers, hitting just .190 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate across 108 plate appearances. Nevertheless, his demotion comes as a significant surprise. Rosenthal reports that Burger's time in the minors should be short and is viewed as a way for him to reset.
