Cardinals giving Matt Carpenter night off

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is out of the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

It seems like a standard night off for Carpenter, who was facing a back injury earlier in the month. Matt Adams will start at first base for the Cardinals, Kolten Wong is manning second and Jhonny Peralta is at third.

Carpenter is having a strong year from the dish, slashing .278/.389/.525 with career-highs in wOBA (.386) and ISO (.247) through 494 plate appearances on the season.
