Carlson went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Mets on Monday, and he now sports a .291/.361/.418 slash line over his last 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
The talented outfielder has also laced five of his 16 hits during that span for extra bases, even as he's generated an elevated 26.2 percent strikeout rate in the sample as well. The one other quibble with Carlson's strong stretch of hitting is his current long-ball drought, which now stands at 14 games going into Tuesday night's action.

Carlson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson will get a day off after he went 3-for-12 with two runs, a walk and four strikeouts across the last three games. Lars Nootbaar will start in right field and bat sixth.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in a 13-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis racked up 18 hits in the rout, though Carlson's homer was the only ball that left the yard. The outfielder had been struggling coming into the contest, going 1-for-14 in four games since returning from the injured list Tuesday. Carlson is slashing .257/.341/.417 with 13 homers, 48 RBI and two steals overall this season.

Carlson, who was activated from the injured list Tuesday, is 1-for-11 with a double, a walk, a hit by pitch and a run in his first three games back.
EDGE Analysis
A wrist injury put Carlson on the shelf for just over 10 days, and while he's reportedly back to full health, he may have accumulated a bit of rust during his layoff. The brief skid has dinged his overall numbers some, but the 22-year-old is still enjoying a solid season that currently includes a .258/.339/.415 slash line, 25 doubles, three triples, 12 home runs and 46 RBI across 487 plate appearances.

The Cardinals activated Carlson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He's batting third and playing right field against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
A sprain right wrist sent Carlson to the IL on Aug. 17, but he missed the minimum time and is back in action with St. Louis. Before the injury he had gotten into a groove at the plate, hitting .359 with three doubles, a home run and three RBI in his last 10 games. Austin Dean was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Manager Mike Shildt said Carlson (wrist) has been hitting in the cage, but only from the left side, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's also been playing some catch on the field recently prior to games, as per the Associated Press. It's unclear whether Carlson will be activated when eligible Tuesday. The Cardinals figure to be cautious with their promising young outfielder and his sprained right wrist, although it's possible he returns from the IL and begins incorporating his right-handed swing while on the active roster. More updates on Carlson's expected activation date should become available in the next couple days.

The Cardinals are optimistic that Carlson (wrist) will be able to return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Tigers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old has been sidelined with a right wrist sprain since late last week, but he's on track for a minimum stay on the injured list. Lars Nootbaar should continue to see time in right field during the team's weekend series against the Pirates, but Carlson will likely be available during the two-game set against the Tigers next week.

Carlson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right wrist.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was initially listed in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers but will now miss not only that contest but several more as well. The issue has been bothering him for a few days, so the Cardinals can backdate the move to Saturday, leaving him eligible to return next Tuesday. Lars Nootbaar will take his place in right field Tuesday, with Austin Dean getting called up to fill a role as a reserve outfielder.

The Cardinals scratched Carlson (wrist) from their starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis initially listed Carlson on the lineup card as its starting right fielder and leadoff man, but the 22-year-old's sprained right wrist apparently didn't respond as well to pregame work as the team hoped. With Carlson on the bench for a fourth straight game, Lars Nootbaar will pick up a start in right field.

Carlson (wrist) will start in right field and lead off Tuesday against the Brewers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's sprained right wrist kept him on the bench for the entire weekend, but his absence didn't prevent St. Louis from sweeping the series in Kansas City and pushing its winning streak to six games. After the three-game absence, Carlson is apparently feeling better heading into the Cardinals' crucial series with the division-leading Brewers, which could have significant implications for St. Louis' wild-card hopes. The Cardinals will hope the brief hiatus didn't disrupt Carlson's rhythm at the plate; he had gone 14-for-39 (.359 average) with a home run and two stolen bases over the first 10 games of August before suffering the wrist injury.
