southsider2k5 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Burger went down and was grasping at his lower left leg. Not clear yet on exactly what happened or where the injury was. Non-Contact injury. Was taken off on a golf cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 @JRFegan 3m3 minutes ago More Jake Burger hit a slow chopper and was digging hard for first to beat out the throw when he staggered and fell. Had to be carted off, but wasn’t put in a stretcher and his leg wasn’t immobilized. But beyond that is speculation, and we’re waiting for an update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Trying to think what the best injury I can hope for is. I wrote last week after Honeywell went down how I always forget that after the initial excitement Spring Training is mostly just waiting and hoping no UCLs burst. But man, I know Jimenez doesn't have a bad injury, but Adolfo and now Burger, our hitters are getting picked off one after another. edit: originally said collins and not burger.
