Carlson went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Padres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson entered Sunday's contest mired in a 1-for-23 slump that had encompassed his previous five games, but his first multi-hit effort since May 9 took care of eradicating the skid. Carlson continued to demonstrate a certain degree of plate discipline during the slowdown by at least drawing five walks within that span, and despite the rough patch, he's still sports a solid .281/.372/.424 slash line with 12 extra-base hits (seven doubles, two triples, three home runs) across 164 plate appearances.

Carlson went 2-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Rockies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
On a quiet afternoon for offense on either side, Carlson contributed one of two multi-hit efforts for the Cardinals. The 22-year-old is clicking at the plate, having generated three straight two-hit tallies and sporting a .476 average with three RBI, two walks, a hit by pitch and five runs across what is now a seven-game hitting streak.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a RBI in the 5-0 win Friday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's two singles Friday gives him a five-game hitting streak. The rookie is hitting well this season, with a .283/.352/.460 slash line in 128 plate appearances. However, he hasn't homered since April 7 and he has no extra-base hits in his last six games.

Carlson (shin) will bat second and play right field Thursday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson fouled a ball off his right shin in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader and did not start the nightcap, though he did record a hit off the bench. He'll be involved from the start this time around, looking to build on his .276/.350/.467 slash line through his first 120 plate appearances.

Carlson was removed from Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets with a right shin contusion and is out of the lineup for Game 2, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old went 1-for-3 with a run scored during the matinee and left the contest after fouling a ball off his right shin. Carlson should be considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's series finale versus the Mets.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old now has three multi-hit efforts in the last four games, although all but one of his eight hits during that span have been singles. Nevertheless, Carlson's slash sits at a stellar .303/.393/.526 across 89 plate appearances going into Wednesday night's action, with well-balanced offensive contributions that included four doubles, two triples, three home runs and 13 RBI integral building blocks of those numbers.

Carlson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson earned his second straight three-hit game with Sunday's performance, raising his season average to .309 in 68 at-bats. He drove in a run with an RBI single in the fifth inning and later scored an insurance run in the eighth. The highly-touted prospect is showing steady improvement after his disappointing 2020 results.

Carlson, who went 3-for-4 in a win over the Reds on Saturday, is hitting .387 (12-for-31) with two doubles, two triples, two RBI, six walks and eight runs across his last 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
It's a tangible sign Carlson's considerable talents are starting to pay dividends at the highest level, with the current stretch serving as the outfielder's best in the majors thus far. Carlson has also struck out at just a 15.8 percent clip during that sample while walking at an identical rate, an excellent ratio that portends plenty of ongoing success if it persists.

Carlson went 1-for-3 with a triple and two runs in a win over the Nationals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's first three-bagger of the season put him in position to eventually come home on Paul DeJong's fifth-inning grand slam. The 22-year-old appears to have made significant strides at the plate since his initial big-league cup of coffee last season, as he already matched his 2020 home-run tally (three) in 96 fewer plate appearances and now sports a .260/.377/.540 line that leaves last season's .200/.252/.364 slash across 119 PAs in the dust.

Carlson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson recorded three hits and two runs in Tuesday's win over the Nationals, but he'll sit for the first time this season during Wednesday's series finale. Tommy Edman will take over in right field while Matt Carpenter starts at second base.
