Cardinals' Alec Burleson: X-rays negative

Burleson (shin) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Burleson was diagnosed with a right shin contusion after fouling a pitch off his lower leg Sunday, and his X-rays confirmed the diagnosis. He's considered day-to-day for now, and the Cardinals will wait to see how he feels Monday before determining his status for the series opener against Arizona that day.
