Carpenter is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Carpenter is out of the lineup for the first time since he missed four straight games from May 7-10 because of extreme fatigue. The cause of his fatigue was never discovered, but he seems to be doing just fine. Known primarily for his excellent contact and on-base skills, Carpenter oddly has 11 strikeouts, two home runs, two doubles and zero walks in 32 at-bats since rejoining the lineup. Given the small sample size and solid power, it's not yet cause for any concern. He's likely getting Tuesday off because the Cardinals played a 14-inning marathon Monday night.
