The St. Louis Cardinals placed outfielder Alec Burleson on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation and catcher Yohel Pozo on the seven-day concussion list, the team announced Friday.

Burleson, 26, leads the Cardinals in batting average (.286) and hits (123) this season while ranking second in home runs (16) and RBIs (60). He missed time last week with a wrist issue and was removed from Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after aggravating the injury.

To fill the roster spots, the Cardinals promoted infielder Cesar Prieto and catcher Jimmy Crooks from Triple-A Memphis. Both players are set to make their major league debuts.

Prieto, 26, was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in the 2023 trade that sent right-hander Jack Flaherty to Baltimore. The Cuban infielder was hitting .295 with nine homers, 62 RBIs and 29 doubles at Memphis, ranking among International League leaders in hits and doubles. He has played extensively at third base, shortstop and second.

Crooks, 24, was a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2022 MLB Draft and was named the Cardinals' 2024 Minor League Player of the Year. At Memphis this season, the left-handed hitter batted .274 with 14 homers and 79 RBIs.

Pozo, 28, was batting .242 with career-highs of five homers and 19 RBIs in 62 games before going on the concussion list.
