Alec Burleson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Homer and double in win Burleson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI with a double in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against the Brewers.

Impact Burleson crushed a homer in the sixth inning way over the wall in right-field to extend the lead to five. Although he has struggled against left-handed pitching all season (.497 OPS), Burleson did most of his damage today against them, including the home run off Brewers reliever Jared Koenig. The 27-year-old now has a .277/.339/.474 slash line with 15 blasts and 66 RBIs.

Sitting versus southpaw Burleson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Burleson is slashing only .188/.215/.238 versus lefty hurlers, so the Cardinals will give him some rest as the Brewers send southpaw Shane Drohan to the hill. Blaze Jordan will slide across the diamond to first base, and Jose Fermin will occupy the hot corner.

Sitting against left-hander Burleson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta.

Impact Burleson was hitless in the Cardinals' last series versus the Marlins and the left-handed batter is slashing only .183/.212/.237 versus southpaws this season, so he will take a seat as Atlanta sends lefty Martin Perez to the bump. It's the second straight time that Burleson has been absent from the lineup against a left-hander. Blaze Jordan will slide over to first base, and Jose Fermin will handle third base.

Enters Tuesday's lineup Burleson will start at first base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Burleson was originally in line to receive a day off Tuesday with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Arizona, but Masyn Winn's thumb injury will put Burleson back in the starting nine. The 27-year-old owns a career-best .847 OPS on the season through 330 plate appearances, though that number plummets to just .463 when he's matched up against a southpaw.
