Rangers first baseman Jake Burger slugged his first homer of the season in an Opening Day loss to the Phillies on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Burger did his part on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer to kick off his 2026 campaign. The power-hitting corner infielder had a down 2025 season overall, but still hit 16 homers in 103 games and could represent a power-hitting bounce-back candidate for fantasy managers in 2026, considering his 63 homers between the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
