Alec Burleson - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Getting day off vs. lefty Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Burleson will get his first day off since June 6, breaking a stretch of 21 consecutive starts for the 26-year-old. Though he'll be taking a seat against lefty Logan Allen, the left-handed-hitting Burleson hasn't been treated as a pure platoon player of late, as he had started in each of the Cardinals' last seven matchups with southpaw starters. Garrett Hampson will cover right field in place of Burleson on Sunday.

Socks homer No. 10 Burleson went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Guardians.

Impact The 26-year-old took Luis L. Ortiz deep in the third inning, giving Sonny Gray more than enough run support as the right-hander faced one batter over the minimum in his fifth career shutout. Burleson is putting the finishing touches on a dazzling June that has seen him slash .337/.354/.598 with six of his 10 homers on the season, as well as 13 runs and 19 RBI in 24 contests.

Yohel Pozo had a two-out RBI single in the 11th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday

Settling into everyday role Burleson has made 13 straight starts for the Cardinals, including three straight against left-handed pitching.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Burleson's first start this season against a traditional left-handed starter didn't come until May 31. However, he has started five of seven tilts versus lefties since that date and is slashing .381/.409/.571 against southpaws during that stretch. Burleson is batting .346/.379/.569 with seven homers since May 1 versus all pitchers, and he has hit third in five of the Cardinals' last six contests. A career .572 OPS against lefties suggests Burleson could be due for some regression in that area, but he should continue to play every day for the time being, especially while Ivan Herrera (hamstring) is shelved.
