by Chris Schommer | Cardinals Correspondent | Sun, Aug 4th 8:12am EDT
Alec Burleson went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cardinals' narrow 5-4 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, marking his 19th homer of the season. Burleson's performance this year has been solid, maintaining a .278 batting average with 64 RBI and now 51 runs scored. His power numbers are respectable, and his ability to draw walks, though modest, adds some value in formats that reward on-base percentage. Fantasy managers should continue to view Burleson as a reliable outfield option, especially in leagues that value extra-base hits and RBI. His consistent power and run production make him a valuable asset in most fantasy lineups.
