Alec Burleson, Michael Siani Sitting On Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Alec Burleson and Michael Siani are both out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland. Ivan Herrera is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup, while Victor Scott II is in center field and in the nine-hole against Freeland. Burleson will head to the bench again for the second straight day with a lefty on the mound. The 25-year-old hasn't started against a southpaw since Aug. 6 and came into the day hitting .196 (26-for-133) against them with only three of his 21 homers on the season. Herrera will be a popular DFS sleeper on Thursday at Coors Field against a lefty. The 24-year-old Panamanian catcher is batting .297 on the year with one of his four long balls coming against a southpaw. Siani takes a seat after starting in each of the first two games in Colorado.

Alec Burleson Tallies Three Hits, Goes Deep On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson went 3-for-4 with two singles and a long ball with two RBI on Saturday evening. Burleson launched his 21st round-tripper of the campaign in the third inning which scored shortstop Masyn Winn. Entering this game, the 25-year-old carried a .233/.250/.395 over his previous 11 games and will now carry some momentum into Sunday's series finale. Overall, Burleson is on pace to have a career season, holding an overall .278/.311/.465 line. Under the hood, he carries an above-average 40.8% hard-hit rate and a stellar 13.1% K rate. While the East Carolina product will occasionally sit against southpaws, he should remain in most lineups going forward and will be worth a look in favorable DFS matchups.

Alec Burleson Sitting Against Southpaw

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson will head to the bench on Monday for the series opener against the hosting division-rival Cincinnati Reds with a left-handed pitcher on the mound. Burleson will get a day of rest after starting each of the team's last nine games. Jordan Walker will play right field and bat seventh in his return to the big-league team, while catcher Willson Contreras will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Reds lefty Andrew Abbott. Pedro Pages is catching and batting eighth. Burleson is having a breakout campaign in 2024 in his second full season, slashing .277/.311/.463 with a .774 OPS, 20 home runs, 67 RBI and seven steals in 110 games. However, he's hit just .205 (24-for-117) with three of his 20 homers against lefties on the year. The return of Walker could mean that Burleson finds his way to the bench more often against southpaws.
