Plates pair in nightcap Carpenter went 2-for-2 with an RBI single and a run-scoring double during a loss to the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday.
Impact After sitting out Game 1 of the twin bill, Carpenter was the only other source of runs outside of Tommy Edman in Game 2. The veteran was making his first start since Monday, but he's made relatively good use of his opportunities thus far in September. Carpenter has managed to generate five RBI on just five hits during the month, and thanks in part to the five walks he's also drawn, he boasts a .423 on-base percentage across 26 plate appearances over that span.

Matt Carpenter and the End of Optimism I’m running out of optimistic things to say about Matt Carpenter, who is now among the worst hitters in the game. Is there any hope for him?
SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • VIVAELBIRDOS.COM
Sitting for Game 1 Carpenter is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
Impact He is really scuffling at the plate, batting .111 with one extra-base hit over his last 36 at-bats. Thankfully, Carpenter has at least walked 11 times over that stretch. Tommy Edman will start at the hot corner while Lane Thomas gets a start in the outfield.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting afternoon game Carpenter is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Carpenter has just three hits in his last 12 games, though the veteran was never all that likely to start twice in one day. Tommy Edman will be the third baseman in his absence.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Checks back into lineup Carpenter will start at third base and will bat seventh Monday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Carpenter was on the bench for the last two games, likely just as a means of hitting the reset button after he slashed .116/.367/.209 over his previous 15 games. While the 34-year-old still boasts a patient eye at the plate (13.4 percent walk rate since 2019), his power production and strikeout rate have been trending in undesirable directions over the past two seasons. He's struck out in 26.8 percent of his plate appearances and has posted a .156 ISO during that two-season stretch, both well off his career marks of 19.9 percent and .191, respectively.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Homers for lone run Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs.
Impact Carpenter was the only Cardinal to manage a hit off Cubs starter Yu Darvish, and that hit left the yard in the sixth inning. It's the second homer of the year for Carpenter, to go with 14 RBI and 14 runs scored across 27 games. He's slashing .181/.340/.289 through 103 plate appearances.

Late lineup addition Carpenter will bat sixth and start at third base Wednesday against the Royals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Carpenter was originally set to be on the bench, but he'll join the starting nine with Dexter Fowler sitting out the game in protest of the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake.
AUGUST 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to bench Carpenter is not starting Wednesday against the Royals.
Impact Carpenter has started 13 consecutive games for the Cardinals, going 9-for-41 with one home run, 10 RBI and a 7:15 BB:K during that span. Brad Miller is serving as the DH and hitting cleanup in place of Carpenter on Wednesday.

Clubs grand slam Carpenter went 2-for-7 with a grand slam during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs.
Impact The 34-year-old started the twin bill off strong with the 410-foot grand slam during the first inning of the matinee, and he was thrown out at second base during the nightcap while attempting to stretch a single into a double. Carpenter has a .238/.304/.357 slash line with one homer, 11 RBI and 13 strikeouts through 46 plate appearances this season.

One-man offense in loss Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Carpenter prevented the indignity of a shutout for the Cardinals by plating Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt with a sixth-inning single for the only two Cardinals runs of the day. The veteran had a productive weekend against the White Sox despite going just 2-for-11 in three games, as he drove in four runs overall during that stretch.

Likely heading to third base Carpenter, who's filled the designated hitter role for the first five games of the season, is projected to shift to third base as part of the domino effect of Paul DeJong's (illnes...
Impact Carpenter has started 635 career games at the hot corner, so the move, which is necessitated by Tommy Edman shifting over to shortstop in DeJong's stead, should be a good fit and should continue to keep the veteran's bat in the lineup on an everyday basis. Carpenter is slashing .200/.294/.267 over his first 17 plate appearances, but he should have plenty of opportunities to improve on those numbers for the time being without having to be overly concerned about a benching.
