Carlson (wrist sprain) likely won't return to action until Tuesday at the earliest, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays showed no fracture, but Carlson's slight right wrist sprain will limit him to baserunning and possibly defense through the weekend. It's swinging a bat that's the problem right now for Carlson, and he is not even a lock to return early next week.

Carlson will undergo an MRI on his right wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was removed from Thursday's win over the Pirates due to right wrist soreness. While the 22-year-old will travel with the team ahead of the weekend series in Kansas City, he'll undergo additional testing since the soreness hasn't subsided after the game. Jose Rondon and Lars Nootbaar are the top candidates to fill in if Carlson misses additional time.

Carlson exited Thursday's game against the Pirates with right wrist soreness. He went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored before departing.
EDGE Analysis
While the initial diagnosis doesn't make this sound like a particularly severe injury, the full picture may not become until further testing is done. Jose Rondon took over in left field and could see an expanded role if Carlson is forced to miss time, with Lars Nootbaar in the mix as well.
