Fantasy Impact:

Burleson’s .292/.341/.464 line against righties last year locks in his at-bats versus right-handed pitching, as Victor Scott’s center field win squeezes Nolan Gorman, per the Cardinals’ Sunday plan. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his bat for solid value in St. Louis’ 2025 lineup with this secure role against right-handers.
