Burleson has only 83 plate appearances on the season but a decent .286/.337/.325 slash line. The power has not been there for him this season, and he doesn’t have a single barrel on the year, but the rest of his profile looks similar to last year. He may be being too passive in the strike zone, but the bigger issue is that the Cardinals don’t feel comfortable with him in the field. He’s playing first base today with Willson Contreras at DH since Brendan Donovan is shifting to the outfield and Nolan Gorman is at second base with Jordan Walker on the bench. This could become more of a regular occurrence if Walker continues to struggle, but, for now, it’s hard to see regular playing time for Burleson.

After starting the season 4-for-43, Contreras has been on a roll. The month of May has also been kind to him, as he’s gone 12-for-34 (.353) with three home runs and 12 RBI in 10 games. It seems the draft price on him as a catcher who was going to play every day at first base will wind up being worth it in the end.

Mikolas struck out five and walked one, with the only damage of the day being a solo home run to Nate Lowe. Mikolas has a 4.35 ERA on the season and has, surprisingly, allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts this season. He’s not producing top-end fantasy value, but he’s been solid enough this season to be counted on in deeper formats. He’s firmly on the streaming radar next week against the Royals.

The Cardinals did all of their damage against the Nationals in the second inning on Saturday, brining in all four of their runs in the frame. Nootbaar drove in two on a double off Trevor Williams for his only hit in the game. The 27-year-old outfielder is having a solid season at the plate, slashing .243/.368/.401 with five homers, 25 runs scored, and four steals across 182 plate appearances.

Rice’s homer off Mitch Spence made it a 10-1 game in the fifth. It was his first homer since he hit two on Apr. 29 and ninth overall. He’s been losing the occasional start because of the desire to include Trent Grisham in the Yankees lineup, but he should retain mixed-league value at least until Giancarlo Stanton returns.

The 23-year-old superstar shortstop led off the game with a double to center off of Tyler Anderson and scored on Adley Rutschman’s triple that Taylor Ward lost in the sun. Henderson then capped off a four-run uprising in the sixth inning with a 386-foot (104.7 mph EV) two-run shot off of Connor Brogdon that extended the Orioles’ advantage to 7-2. With his two-hit effort, Henderson is now hitting .264/.307/.473 with five homers, nine RBI and three stolen bases in his first 32 games on the season.

Yelich’s home run was his seventh of the year and it tied the score at one in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting just .208 with a .678 OPS this year, though he does have seven home runs, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases. Fantasy managers have to hang tight with Yelich and hope he turns his average around while providing solid numbers in the other categories.
