Matt Carpenter (quad) out for Cardinals on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Carpenter (quad) is not starting on Monday night versus the Colorado Rockies.
Carpenter will be held out after he was lifted from Sunday's contest after the first inning due to a tight right quadriceps. It's not expected to be a significant concern and the Cardinals are likely just erring on the side of caution. Luke Voit will start at first base on Monday night and bat sixth versus Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela.
The 31-year-old veteran is slashing .248/.378/.449 with 14 home runs, 46 RBI, and 56 runs scored in 400 plate appearances (93 games) this season. numberFire's models project Carpenter to turn in a .264 batting average with 5 homers, 17 RBI, and 16 runs scored over 131 plate appearances for the remainder of the year.
