Burger could be activated Monday after a left wrist sprain that sidelined him Aug. 18, potentially rejoining Texas for a three-game set with Arizona. He was swinging a hot bat before the injury, slashing .467/.529/.667 across seven games and posting a 1.097 OPS in 21 second-half games. Haggerty remains out with a left ankle inflammation and is likely a week away. Chris Martin was progressing in a rehab stint at Double-A Round Rock and could lift Texas’ bullpen.

Texas pounded out big run totals with a resilient offense, and the club is weighing next steps as they push for a late-season surge. The club also kept tabs on the Diamondbacks series, and the rehab progress of Martin adds a stabilizing factor to a bullpen that has battled coverage gaps.
