Matt Carpenter (back) expects to return after break
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (back) expects to return from the injured list on July 12.
What It Means:
That would be the Cardinals' first game after the All-Star break. Carpenter says he tweaked his back while bedridden with a stomach bug for 40 hours, leading to the IL stint. Tommy Edman and Yairo Munoz have been filling in for Carpenter on the hot corner and at the top of the order.
Carpenter is batting .216/.325/.381 with 10 home runs, 12 doubles, 28 RBI, 42 runs scored, and 6 steals in 326 plate appearances (77 games) this season.
