Matt Carpenter scratched Sunday for St. Louis due to tight back
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to back tightness.
What It Means:
"Nothing serious," per Cardinals manager Mike Shildt. "He's going to be fine." Opening Day is less than two weeks away, but it appears to be a non-concern for the 33-year-old veteran.
numberFire's models expect Carpenter to bat .254 with 31 home runs, 82 RBI, 97 runs scored, and 4 steals in 640 plate appearances this season.
