Carpenter (lower back) is set to take swings off a tee in Jupiter on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter will not be taking swings at full strength, but the session will serve the all-important purpose of testing his trunk rotation and unearthing any potential oblique issues as well. The Cardinals' first baseman has already announced he is forgoing his previously planned participation in the World Baseball Classic due to the injury.
