Matt Carpenter out of Cardinals' lineup Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Jhonny Peralta will start at third base, while Matt Adams will play first base on Tuesday. It's not yet known whether this is a simple day off or if it is something more for Carpenter, who owns a career-best .904 OPS in 470 plat appearances this season.

Carpenter is slashing .276/.390/.514 with 17 home runs and a career-best .383 wOBA. We project him to hit four more taters and post an .861 OPS over the rest of the year.
