Matt Carpenter batting leadoff in return to Cardinals' lineup
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Carpenter is back in the lineup for Tuesday's road game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
He got the day off on Monday, but Carpenter will be back at first base and batting leadoff against Diamondbacks' righty Taijuan Walker on Tuesday. His return will send Luke Voit back to the bench.
Carpenter has a strong .384 wOBA on a 45.6% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching this season, making him a strong value play against Walker at the hitter-friendly Chase Field.
