ARLINGTON — Texas Rangers infielder Jake Burger was activated from the 10-day Injured List Wednesday to take the place of third baseman Josh Jung, who was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. Burger had been on the injured list since June 21 with an oblique injury. He hurt it on June 20 after a seven-pitch at bat in which he swung at each pitch.

This is a performance-based game. The Rangers' front office and coaching staff have said that many times this year. That’s never been more true than on Wednesday, when Rangers’ 2023 All-Star third baseman Josh Jung was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock.

The Rangers reinstated first baseman Jake Burger from the 10-day injured list before Wednesday night's series finale against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.
