Burger had been previously sidelined with a stress fracture in his back for most of last year but returned in the SA20 and played a full part in this season's Indian Premier League campaign with Rajasthan Royals.
The left-arm paceman played two games for the Texas Super Kings in the MLC, taking one wicket across six overs at an economy rate of 6.66 before the latest setback.
Burger will now face an anxious wait to see whether he will be fully fit with the Proteas set to have a busy home summer ahead, that includes Test series' against Australia, Bangladesh and England.
The 30-year-old is said to be high on the list of fast bowlers in Shukri Conrad's plans as the home season approaches.
The Texas Super Kings have announced that South African allrounder Dian Forrester has been named as Burger's replacement.
Forrester is a familiar face in the Super Kings set-up having worked with coach Stephen Fleming in the SA20 (Joburg Super Kings) and IPL (Chennai Super Kings).
