Cardinals' Matt Carpenter dealing with injury to finger
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter has been dealing with an issue to his right ring finger.
What It Means:
The injury explains his absence from Monday's lineup against the Cincinnati Reds. It's reportedly been a lingering issue and the Cardinals are hopeful rest will prove to be a sufficient remedy. Greg Garcia is starting at second base and leading off.
Carpenter is slashing .270/.375/.496 with a .370 wOBA and .226 ISO through 539 plate appearances on the season. He's struggled in September, hitting season-worsts with a .210 batting average and 23.9 strikeout percentage (88 plate appearances).
