Alec Burleson hit a solo homer in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Burleson doubled the Cardinals’ lead to 2-0 with his 26th homer of the season. The Brewers would score the next three in another loss for St. Louis. That roundtripper also gives Burleson 116 RBI, which is best in all of baseball. The Cardinals won’t play in October, but that’s not Burleson’s fault; he’s been outstanding for the majority of the year.

Alec Burleson is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s tilt against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

If you’re going to have to take a day off on occasion, doing so against Tarik Skubal isn’t the worst idea in the world. Leo Bernal will start in his place at first base and will bat fifth for the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Alec Burleson is not in St. Louis’ starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Phillies.

It appears to just be a routine day off against tough left-hander Jesús Luzardo. Burleson is hitting .288/.355/.489 in 128 games this year with 21 homers and 93 RBI; he’s been a major reason the Cardinals have overachieved preseason expectations.

Alec Burleson went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in a blowout win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Both Burleson and Jordan Walker homered, picked up three hits and drove in four in the contest. Burleson’s homer was his 21st of the season, and it was a two-run shot off a wholly ineffective Edward Cabrera in the first inning. Burleson has put together a very strong 2026 campaign, and his .288/.355/.494 slash is evidence of that.
