Alec Burleson News
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson made the most of his at-bats during Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The left-handed slugger went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the loss. This marked the 10th straight game that Burleson has faced the right-handed pitcher. That being said, it appears the Cardinals are sticking with Burleson as strictly a platoon bat. He has been decent slashing .262/.303/.696 with three homers and 12 RBI this season. However, fantasy managers can probably find a better option given the Cards crowded outfield and Burleson only batting against right-handed pitching.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson is out of the lineup on Wednesday with the team facing left-hander Jordan Montgomery and the Arizona Cardinals. It's no surprise, as Burleson will continue to ride the pine when the Cardinals face a southpaw. With the 25-year-old out and Jordan Walker being optioned to Triple-A Memphis, Brendan Donovan is in left field and hitting leadoff, while rookie Michael Siani gets the nod in center field and will bat ninth. With Walker in the minors for a bit, Burleson's fantasy stock in deeper leagues is going up, as he should play more regularly against right-handers now. The former second-round pick in 2020 out of East Carolina is still searching for his first home run in 2024 while batting .255 (13-for-51) with two RBI and two runs scored.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson will be on the bench when his club kicks off a series with the Padres and right-hander Matt Waldron. The 25-year-old wnt 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers while Matt Carpenter will re-enter the lineup and take designated hitter duties from Burleson. It wasn't a great rookie year for Burleson in 2023 as he hit .244 with eight home runs, three steals, and a .690 OPS across 107 appearances, production that graded out 11% below the league average, as per his 89 wRC+. He is 2-for-14 with a double to begin this season but has also struck out in five of his 14 plate appearances, good for an elevated 35.7% K% but he also posted a tiny 13% K% in the 2023 campaign.
