Burleson was placed on the 10-day injured list
with right wrist inflammation. Burleson had an injection in the
wrist to assist with the inflammation, and after letting it
settle for 48 hours, the team will reassess the injury.
Pozo was put on the seven-day concussion list after taking a
foul tip off his mask during Thursday's 4-1 win over the
Pittsburgh Pirates. He finished the game, but concussion
symptoms appeared.
The team also selected catcher Jimmy Crooks and infielder César
Prieto from Triple-A.
Prieto came on in the 10th inning late as a pinch hitter during
Friday night's 7-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds and was 0 for 1
with a swinging strikeout.
Crooks replaced Pedro Pagés behind the plate in the ninth inning
and did not have a plate appearance.
Crooks is the No. 6-ranked prospect in the Cardinals’ system,
according to MLB Pipeline. He is batting .274 at Triple-A with a
.778 OPS, 21 doubles, 14 home runs and 79 RBIs.
Prieto, a Cuban who defected in 2021 a few hours after the squad
arrived in Florida to participate in a qualifying tournament for
the Tokyo Olympics, is hitting .295 with nine home runs and 62
RBIs at Memphis.
