Set for Monday return
Burleson (wrist) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
Burleson will make his return to the Cardinals' starting lineup without being sent on a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old outfielder had been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to right wrist inflammation. He's slashing .286/.337/.451 in 470 plate appearances this season.

Aiming to return for SEA series
Burleson (wrist) is slated to return from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Cardinals' three-game road series against the Mariners starting Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Burleson is rehabbing from right wrist inflammation that caused him to be placed on the 10-day IL in late August. He's increased his baseball activities over the past few days, and it appears the 26-year-old outfielder will not need a rehab assignment and join the Cardinals in Seattle early next week.

Hopes to take batting practice soon
Burleson hopes to take batting practice in the coming days after an anti-inflammatory injection alleviated discomfort in his injured right wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
If Burleson is able to take batting practice soon, he could avoid a rehab assignment and be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 8. Burleson is second only to Ivan Herrera on the Cardinals with a wRC+ of 120 this season.

Plays catch Monday
Burleson (wrist) was spotted playing catch on the field prior to Monday's game against the Athletics, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
St. Louis placed Burleson on the 10-day injured list Friday due to right wrist inflammation, but after getting an injection to relieve discomfort, he's already started throwing again. Burleson remains hopeful to be activated from the IL around when he's first eligible to return Sept. 8.
