Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in a 5-3 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson had an all-around solid night at the plate, picking up his 16th double of the season to cash in Tommy Edman while also adding an RBI single and a stolen base. The 23-year-old Carlson now has four steals on the season and has not yet been caught stealing. He is riding a five-game hit streak and is slashing a very healthy .286/.403/.554 in June.

Carlson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson entered this week with just one stolen base on the year, but he's recorded a theft in each of his last two games. That gives him a career-high three steals, though speed remains a lesser part of his game. He also snapped an 0-for-8 skid at the plate Wednesday, and he's now batting .249/.317/.392 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple in 202 plate appearances.

Carlson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 6-2 win Tuesday in Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson walked in the seventh and stole a base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the eighth. The 23-year-old has drawn a walk in seven consecutive games while fanning just three times in that span. While his .313 OBP is not anything special, he's posted a .383 OBP and 13:12 K:BB over his last 30 games.

Carlson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson went 0-for-3 with a walk in the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader, but he was able to contribute more Wednesday. The outfielder got the Cardinals on the board with a solo shot in the second inning, his second long ball in his last four games. The 23-year-old is up to a .252/.303/.399 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 178 plate appearances. Carlson should be a fixture in the lineup versus southpaws, but he could cede some time to versatile rookie Brendan Donovan in right field against right-handed pitchers.

Carlson is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson will sit for the second time in five games since he was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday. Brendan Donovan will draw a start in right field in place of Carlson, who has gone 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, a walk and three RBI thus far in June.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson provided the biggest hit of the contest with a three-run blast off of Pirates reliever Anthony Banda to tie the game at 5-5 in the sixth inning. This was Carlson's first extra-base hit in four games since he returned from a stay on the injured list due to a hamstring injury. The outfielder has gone 4-for-11 (.364) since his return, lifting his season slash line to .255/.300/.389 in 170 plate appearances. He's added three homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base, 10 doubles and a triple.

Carlson will sit Sunday against Cincinnati, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson started the first two games after his return from a hamstring injury Friday, going 2-for-6 with a walk. He won't be asked to play three days in a row just yet, as Brendan Donovan takes over in right field.

Carlson (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's 2-0 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson missed nearly three weeks with the hamstring injury. The outfielder has now hit safely in his last five games, going 8-for-18 (.444) in that span. The 23-year-old will look to work out of a slow start to the season now that he's healthy. He's slashing .248/.292/.362 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and a stolen base in 40 contests. Carlson may be eased back into action a bit, but he should be the Cardinals' primary right fielder going forward, with rookies Brendan Donovan and Juan Yepez to push him for playing time.

Carlson (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Carlson will rejoin the Cardinals on Friday after wrapping up his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis, going 5-for-6 with a homer, four RBI and four runs in two games with the team. Prior to getting injured, the outfielder had struggled to find any consistency at the plate, batting .247 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs and a stolen base over 39 contests. Lars Nootbaar was optioned to Triple-A on Friday in a corresponding move.

Carlson (hamstring) is expected to play right field for Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, four RBI, three runs scored and a walk Tuesday versus Triple-A Durham after moving his rehab assignment up a level. He served as the designated hitter in that contest, but Denton reports the 23-year-old outfielder will get a game or two in the field before he's activated from the injured list. Once he returns, Carlson will likely push for an everyday role in right field again.
