Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Carlson will head to the bench after starting five straight games and going 7-for-16 with two home runs, one triple, three walks, four RBI and four runs. With Colton Cowser (concussion) returning from the injured list Sunday and Dylan Beavers likely to get an extended audition as an everyday player, Carlson could find himself back in a bench role when Tyler O'Neill (wrist) comes off the IL.
