Burleson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Burleson is up to nine steals on 12 attempts this season. The speed is a relatively newfound part of his game -- prior to this year, he never had more than five steals across all levels in a full season. He's gone 7-for-18 (.389) during a five-game hitting streak, though he's also gone 11 games without a home run. Burleson is slashing .279/.317/.456 with 21 homers, 72 RBI, 62 runs scored and 18 doubles over 125 games this year. He's mostly been a strong-side platoon player in August, but he could reclaim a full-time role if another team claims Tommy Pham off waivers.
