Jake Burger has been a power source for the Chicago White Sox.

The infielder will provide some pop for the Marlins after the Sox dealt him to Miami on Tuesday for left-handed pitching prospect Jake Ede, according to multiple reports. Craig Mish had the initial report.

Burger is slashing .214/.279/.527 with 25 home runs and 52 RBIs in 88 games. He’s tied for third in the American League in home runs, and was second on the Sox only trailing Luis Robert Jr., who has 29 home runs.

A first-round pick in 2017, Burger has rebounded from injuries to become a fixture. He missed all of 2018 after suffering a ruptured left Achilles tendon and 2019 because of a bruised left heel.

He played in 15 games with the Sox in 2021 and 51 last season. His long-distance home runs were a highlight at Guaranteed Rate Field, where he’s hit 17 of his 25 home runs this season.

He’s improved at third base and has spent time at second. Now he’ll look to do damage for the Marlins.
