EDGE Analysis

Just placed on the injured list with a right foot bone contusion last Tuesday, Carpenter is back to taking grounders, swings and running the bases at about half-speed. Manager Mike Shildt confirmed Sunday that Carpenter's rehab assignment, which will unfold either at Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis, is slated to begin "sooner rather than later."
