Carlson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Phillies due to unspecified minor tightness, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of Carlson's injury aren't quite clear, but the Cardinals apparently don't view it as anything that will keep him out for more than a day or two. Lars Nootbaar will step in as the Cardinals' center fielder in place of Carlson, who has gone 7-for-33 (.212 average) with a home run and two RBI through his first nine games of July.

Carlson went 3-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 extra-innings win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson didn't start the game, but he pinch hit for Lars Nootbaar in the seventh inning. All three of Carlson's hits were singles, and the last one plated the decisive run in the 11th frame. The outfielder hadn't had a multi-hit effort since June 28, but it's possible Thursday's performance sparks his bat again. He has a .257/.320/.413 slash line with five home runs, 24 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases through 256 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Carlson went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was the fourth batter in a row to hit a home run for the Cardinals in the first inning of Saturday's game. Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman and Juan Yepez each hit a home run prior to Carlson's homer. It was the fifth home run of the season for the outfielder and his first since June 15. Although he has hits in seven of his last eight games, Carlson has also struck out 12 times during that span. He has a .252 batting average for the season.

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.
