Fantasy Impact:
Burleson’s been an outfielder for most of his big-league starts, but with Jordan Walker sidelined a week by a knee tweak, he’s still locked in as the primary DH against right-handers and will mix in at first when Willson Contreras takes DH reps. Fantasy managers can peg him for decent pop in deeper leagues; his bat stays relevant despite the position shift.
