Carpenter (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup Monday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals did not offer up an explanation for Carpenter's absence Sunday, but that he's back in the mix for the series opener with the Reds after a one-day layoff suggests that the ailment wasn't a serious one. Carpenter will play second base and lead off for the Cards on Monday.
