The Marlins traded Burger to the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Echedry Vargas, Max Acosta and Brayan Mendoza, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. The Marlins will plunge even further into their full-scale rebuild by trading away Burger, who slashed .265/.315/.472 and launched 38 home runs during his 190-game tenure in Miami. Now with the Rangers, the 28-year-old slugger's easiest path to playing time is likely as Texas' third baseman, though his subpar defense could cause him to move into the DH spot.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday. Miami got off to a fiery start Wednesday, as Burger's three-run homer was one of five straight baserunners for the team to open the contest. However, the Marlins didn't score over the remaining eight frames, and Burger struck out in three of his remaining four at-bats (though he also recorded a double). The slugger has gone deep four times in his past eight games and needs one more long ball to reach 30 for the second straight season.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. All four of Miami's runs on the afternoon came on solo shots, with Burger launching his in the fourth inning off Grant Holmes. The 28-year-old slugger has gone yard three times in the last six contests, part of a 12-game stretch in which he's slashing .304/.327/.522 with nine RBI. Burger sits two long balls short of recording his second straight 30-homer campaign with six games left on the Marlins' schedule.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.

Burger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Burger helped the Marlins take an early lead with his two-run blast off Arizona starter Jordan Montgomery in the first inning. The long ball was his 10th through 19 contests in what has been a big August for the slugger. Burger is up to 25 home runs on the campaign as he closes in on the 30-homer mark for the second straight season.
