The St. Louis Cardinals continue to navigate a stretch of key injuries as the calendar turns to September, with several regular contributors working toward returns.
Alec Burleson
The outfielder is currently on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist issue, but he has shown encouraging signs in his recovery. After receiving an anti-inflammatory injection, the discomfort in his wrist has eased. According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Burleson is expected to resume batting practice in the coming days. His timeline for activation remains unclear, but the Cardinals are optimistic about his progress.
