Sox's Burger comes back swinging at Class AAA Charlotte
Posted May 14, 2021 1:00 am
Well rested after missing the last three seasons, Jake Burger has quickly gotten back into the swing with Class AAA Charlotte.
Burger wasn't able to play last year after COVID-19 shut down minor-league baseball, and he was out in 2018-19 with an Achilles injury.
Back this season, the third baseman homered in three straight games for Charlotte heading into Thursday's play.
"What he is right now in 2021, he's a legitimate prospect," manager Tony La Russa said. "Toward the end of spring (training), in some of those B games, we played against the Dodgers and the Dodgers were having first-rate pitching. He was having great at-bats. He's a major-leaguer on the come."
