Burleson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI with a double in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Burleson crushed a homer in the sixth inning way over the wall in right-field to extend the lead to five. Although he has struggled against left-handed pitching all season (.497 OPS), Burleson did most of his damage today against them, including the home run off Brewers reliever Jared Koenig. The 27-year-old now has a .277/.339/.474 slash line with 15 blasts and 66 RBI.

Burleson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Burleson is slashing only .188/.215/.238 versus lefty hurlers, so the Cardinals will give him some rest as the Brewers send southpaw Shane Drohan to the hill. Blaze Jordan will slide across the diamond to first base, and Jose Fermin will occupy the hot corner.

Burleson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Burleson was hitless in the Cardinals' last series versus the Marlins and the left-handed batter is slashing only .183/.212/.237 versus southpaws this season, so he will take a seat as Atlanta sends lefty Martin Perez to the bump. It's the second straight time that Burleson has been absent from the lineup against a left-hander. Blaze Jordan will slide over to first base, and Jose Fermin will handle third base.

Burleson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Burleson started against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, but the first baseman will retreat to the bench Wednesday while the Diamondbacks send a second straight lefty (Mitch Bratt) to the bump. Blaze Jordan will take Burleson's spot in the field and will bat eighth.
