It's Burger time in Chicago.
Former Missouri State star Jake Burger will likely be called up to the Majors and will make his debut with the Chicago White Sox this weekend in Detroit, as was first reported on Sports Talk on Thursday evening. MLB.com White Sox reporter Scott Merkin followed with the same report.
After a pair of Achilles tears that cost him his 2018 and 2019 seasons, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft will live out his dream of playing for the team he grew up cheering for.
Burger's call-up comes in conjunction with White Sox star third baseman Yoan Moncada exiting the team's Thursday loss with a bruised right hand.
