Matt Carpenter (rest) out of Cardinals' Sunday lineup
Coming off 1 hit in his last 18 at bats, Carpenter will take today off against the Jon Niese and the Mets. Pete Kozma will field the hot corner batting eighth.
What It Means:
Over 41 games, Kozma has had a forgettable year with a slash line of .167/.247/.167 including a wOBA of .195 and a nERD of -0.88.
Facing righties, Niese has a 4.47 FIP and has yielded 36 of his 42 overall earned runs, including 10 long balls. Kozma will look to turn his season around today against the Mets' lefty.
