The Miami Marlins will be placing third baseman Jake Burger on the 10-day injured list ahead of their series opener against the San Francisco Giants on Monday with a left oblique injury.
Burger was replaced in the top of the fourth inning of the Marlins’ 9-7 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday due to the injury, which he initially felt on his first swing against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton and then again while running down the line on his groundout in that first-inning at-bat. He felt the discomfort again when he ranged to his right to field a grounder and attempt a cross-body throw to first base in the third inning.
