Burleson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

The Cardinals are facing a lefty in Kyle Freeland for the second day in a row, and the left-handed-hitting Burleson has been on the bench for both contests. Burleson hasn't made a start against a southpaw since Aug. 6 and looks to be viewed as a pure strong-side platoon player at this stage of the season. Ivan Herrera will replace him as the Cardinals' designated hitter.
