Alec Burleson Shines Despite Cardinals' Loss to Padres
by Matthew Adam | Cardinals Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 5:44am EDT
Alec Burleson went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in the Cardinals' 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance today, highlighted by a trio of hits and a couple of runs batted in, provided a silver lining in an otherwise disappointing outcome for St. Louis. Burleson's season has been solid, maintaining a .277 batting average with 21 homers and 72 RBI over 122 games. His consistent ability to drive in runs and his moderate power make him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. While his walk rate remains low, limiting his on-base potential, his slugging contributions and RBI production should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues.
