RB James Conner can move up Arizona Cardinals' all-time list in 2025
Conner could move up to No. 2 in franchise history in rushing yards and set the record for rushing touchdowns in 2025.
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner begins his fifth season with the team in 2025. He already is among the best and most productive running backs in franchise history.
Through four seasons with the Cardinals, he has 3,668 rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns.
He is fourth in franchise history in running yards and second in rushing touchdowns. He has had over 1,000 yards in the last two seasons.
With another solid season, he will move up to second place in one category and No. 1 in another.
Conner will pass Stump Mitchell for second place all-time with 981 rushing yards in 2025. Mitchell had 4,649 career rushing yards for the Cardinals from 1981-1989.
Will Conner be able to reach No. 1? Ottis Anderson is the team's all-time leader with 7,999 career yards. He needs 4,332 more rushing yards. That seems like a tough ask.
However, he can set the franchise record with touchdown runs. Conner has 37. Anderson holds the franchise high with 46. With 10 rushing scores, he will set the new record. He had eight, seven and seven in each of the last three seasons, but he had 15 in 2021, so he does have it in him.
With the potential emergence of second-year running back Trey Benson, it could be more difficult for Conner to reach those milestones.

Ben Brown's rough outing brings more questions about his spot in the rotation
ST. LOUIS — For three innings, it seemed like Ben Brown was about to put together a great outing. It wouldn't have been a surprise. The young starter has shown flashes of brilliance mixed in with severe rough patches. Both happened on Monday as Brown went from shutting down the St. Louis Cardinals to quickly finding himself on the wrong end of an 8-2 loss. Advertisement 'It just happened really fast. It's really frustrating,' Brown said. 'It's going to be tough to sleep tonight knowing I was that close to something really good tonight, and just as fast as it went away. It's hard.' Brown needed just 28 pitches to get through the first three frames. But over his next two-plus innings, he threw 53 pitches and gave up eight runs on a quartet of two-run homers. Monday marked Brown's 14th appearance this season and the sixth time he's given up five or more runs. Overall, Brown has struck out 25.3 percent of batters he's faced and walked 7.5 percent, strong peripherals that often lead to good results. But far too often — like on Monday — he's failed to execute, leaving pitches over the heart of the plate, culminating in an ERA of 6.13. Brown has given glimpses of his immense upside. He threw six scoreless frames against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds, and seven innings of two-run ball when facing the Detroit Tigers. But the bad moments have come far too frequently. A Cubs team with a clear focus on ending a playoff drought needs more consistency. 'This is part of being a young starting pitcher in the league and trying to make progress,' Counsell said. 'As you have to get 15, 18 outs in a game, it's difficult. It's hard to see now, but there is growth happening. It's hard to like the growth when there's struggles going on, but that's where the best stuff comes from. So we just gotta keep working on it and improve the quality of the execution. Keep going.' The question is whether Brown will keep going in the big leagues. Before the game, Counsell announced that Shota Imanaga, who has been on the injured list since May 5 with a left hamstring strain, would return to the rotation on Thursday. Matthew Boyd, who had a bad bruise on his left shoulder after catching a hard liner in his last start, is scheduled to pitch Wednesday. Advertisement Counsell also noted that Porter Hodge, who has been out since May 17 with an oblique strain, then a hip issue, is back with the team and could be activated soon. That may mean Brown, who has options remaining, could be ticketed for Triple A. Time to fine-tune his developing changeup, and doing a better job of not leaving so many pitches over the plate could be of value to Brown. 'There's some moments when you need to lock it in and bear down and execute some pitches,' catcher Carson Kelly said. 'They've been getting in some good counts and we need to get ahead.' Brown was upset after the loss and addressed the possibility of losing his spot in the rotation. 'Yeah, stuff like that is going to be in the back of your mind,' Brown said. 'Obviously, when guys show up in the locker room, they're going to need spots to pitch. It's hard. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I just gotta do my job and I didn't do it tonight.' The young pitcher is often seen with a smile on his face and chatting with veterans after his outings. On this night, he sat on a couch, stone-faced by himself, scrolling his phone. Brown has to diagnose and address whatever is going wrong for him. But the Cubs can't dwell on losses like this. The focus has to be on fixing the issue. Imanaga's return is the first step. 'He's ready to go,' Counsell said. 'He did a full rehab. Everything that happened on rehab was according to schedule. The performance was very good, and all the important data we look at was good.' This is a team that's in desperate need of Imanaga's return. Brown and Colin Rea have done enough to ensure the Cubs don't sink in the standings. But their performances of late — Rea gave up four home runs and seven earned runs in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners — have left much to be desired. Imanaga's arrival comes at a time when the team is in search of a pick-me-up. But additions beyond Imanaga are needed. Advertisement The win for St. Louis ties them for second with the Milwaukee Brewers and puts them just 3 1/2 games back of the Cubs, who are looking vulnerable for the first time in a while. Starting pitching has been the glaring need for weeks now and has to be the focus for team president Jed Hoyer and his front office over the next month as they look to upgrade the roster. There's no doubt they will act. The only question is when that move will happen.

As Cardinals evaluate runway season, Alec Burleson has slugged his way into more playing time
ST. LOUIS — Throughout the first month of the season, Alec Burleson could often be found sitting in front of his locker in the back corner of the Cardinals clubhouse. On this particular April afternoon, Burleson sat with his feet propped up on a chair, fiddling with a bat he wouldn't need later. Again, Burleson was not in the starting lineup. Advertisement This did not come as a surprise to the 26-year-old. Manager Oli Marmol had communicated with him prior to the season that specific players had been identified by the organization to see the most playing time — regardless of on-field results. Such is the nature of a runway season, the skipper explained, and while Burleson's 2024 stat line was much better than a vast majority of his teammates, he would be relegated as a bench player to start the year. In prior years, this was not a situation Burleson would've handled well, he admitted. But he decided to approach this season from a wider view. 'These things tend to work themselves out in time,' he said with a shrug and a smile. That they do. Burleson slugged his ninth homer of the season — one of four two-run homers mashed by the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night — en route to an 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. His OPS on the season is up to a team-leading .818. His .474 slugging percentage is also a team-high, and his .344 on-base percentage ranks second only to Brendan Donovan. His torrid last two months (Burleson hit .303 in May and is hitting .364 in June) has resulted in incrementally increased playing time. Now, Marmol is at a point where he can't justify taking Burleson's bat out of the lineup — especially as the Cardinals (43-36) continue to prove they could be contenders this year. All season long, the Cardinals have tried to balance runway with results. What about extending runway to the players providing results? That's the conversation Burleson's play has forced the organization to have, 'I think we've balanced (playing time) well up to this point,' Marmol said. '(But) you have to reward guys that have run with it.' 'It's not a 50-50 balance, in my opinion,' he added. 'I think you have to start tilting and leaning towards guys that are performing play. You need to reward guys that are actually taking steps in the right direction while still being committed to the work with the guys that aren't taking those big leaps. Up to this point, it hasn't been the easiest to balance, but I think we've done it. But I'd also like to reward guys that are doing a good job.' THINGS HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUS AT BUSCH! — St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) June 24, 2025 Through the first two months of the season, the Cardinals committed to playing Jordan Walker in right field every game. They stuck with him, even when he hit .210 in April with a .559 OPS, and in May, when those numbers marginally improved to a .224 average and .656 OPS. St. Louis thought it could create some opportunity for its lefty sluggers in Burleson and Nolan Gorman, but Iván Herrera's emergence as a legitimate middle of the order bat threw a wrench in those plans. Advertisement But the Cardinals will be without Herrera indefinitely (left hamstring strain) and Walker has slumped since returning from a brief IL stint (left wrist inflammation) of his own. Gorman, who also homered in Monday's win, can slot into Herrera's role as the team's designated hitter. That leaves room for Burleson as a corner outfielder. Never mind that he best profiles as a first baseman or designated hitter — the Cardinals are now determined to keep him his bat in the lineup. Burleson, thanks to his work ethic and a newfound demeanor, has forced St. Louis to extend his runway. 'This had happened to me before, so I know what it takes to make sure it doesn't spiral when you do get your opportunities, and the best way to take advantage of those,' Burleson said. 'It's more mental than physical. I want to play every day, and I need to put myself mentally in a spot where I am playing every day.' That type of mentally did not go unnoticed by both the coaching staff and his teammates. Marmol spoke to the difficulty of the situation, and how well Burleson navigated the lack of playing time. Over the last several weeks, Burleson refined his approach and emphasized better pitch selection in non two-strike counts. The results speak for themselves. Burleson, who has rarely struggled to hit for contact, has a 13.3 percent strikeout rate (which ranks in the 90th percentile of eligible MLB hitters) and has squared up 33.8 percent of batted balls, good enough for the league's 92nd percentile. 'He's done a really nice job of waiting for his opportunity,' Marmol said. 'I think the overall communication has helped, understanding that during this stretch your playing time is not going to be a ton, but stay locked in because we'll still mix you in. His mentality has been really good throughout that. He was never down on himself. He continued to work and he was ready for his opportunity, and credit to him, he's done a really nice job of running with it.' 'He was getting inconsistent at-bats at the beginning of the season, so for him to stick to his approach and stick to what he knows … He handled it like a true pro,' Lars Nootbaar, who went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, added. Week begins with W! — St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) June 24, 2025 As the Cardinals push through June, they know July will be a crucial month, both for their short and long-term future. St. Louis must decide what it will do at the trade deadline; whether it will buy or sell, focus on the future or try to capitalize on surprising success, or perhaps find a way to do both. Advertisement Should the Cardinals decide to make a run, some players will be evaluated differently than they were in April. Such is already the case for Burleson, who continued to show Monday night why he should be an everyday starter, and how he could be a valuable asset for the club in 2026 and beyond. 'I want to be in the lineup,' Burleson said. 'I don't care (what position) it's at. I want to play every day, I want to be right in the middle of the order producing with this team. Whether that's in left, right, DH, first, wherever it's at I want to be in the lineup and help this team win. I think I can do it.'
