Lands on IL with wrist inflammation The Cardinals placed Burleson on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation.
Impact After first tweaking his wrist last week and sitting out one game, Burleson had to be lifted from Thursday's contests versus the Pirates after aggravating the injury. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 8, but the Cardinals have not offered a timetable for Burleson's return. Lars Nootbaar, Nathan Church and Jordan Walker should be the team's primary outfielders for now, though Victor Scott (ankle) is due back next week and would likely displace Church from that group.

Heading to IL with sore wrist The Cardinals will place Burleson (wrist) on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Burleson missed one game last week with a right wrist injury and had to be pulled early from Thursday's contest versus the Pirates after the wrist flared up on him again. He will be eligible for activation Sept. 8, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to go on that date. The Cardinals should roll with Lars Nootbaar, Nathan Church and Jordan Walker as their primary outfielders for now, though Victor Scott (ankle) should be back next week to displace Church from that group.

Impact Burleson had to miss a game last week due to the injury and it flared up on him again Thursday. The Cardinals are expected to promote both Jimmy Crooks and Cesar Prieto from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, and it would appear Burleson going on the 10-day injured list is one of the possible corresponding transactions.

Burleson leads Cardinals against the Pirates after 4-hit game

The St. Louis Cardinals take on the Pittsburgh Pirates after Alec Burleson had four hits against the Pirates on Monday
AUGUST 26, 2025 • Associated Press
Ends four-hit game with walk-off Burleson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Monday's 7-6 win against the Pirates.
Impact Burleson was already having a big game when he came to the plate with the score tied and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The first baseman then left his final mark on the contest by crushing a 409-foot solo blast to center field to give the Cardinals the victory. This was Burleson's first four-hit performance of the season, and he's been swinging a hot stick of late, slashing .364/.391/.515 with two homers, 10 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base over his past 17 games.
