Scuffling since return Carlson, who was activated from the injured list Tuesday, is 1-for-11 with a double, a walk, a hit by pitch and a run in his first three games back.

Impact A wrist injury put Carlson on the shelf for just over 10 days, and while he's reportedly back to full health, he may have accumulated a bit of rust during his layoff. The brief skid has dinged his overall numbers some, but the 22-year-old is still enjoying a solid season that currently includes a .258/.339/.415 slash line, 25 doubles, three triples, 12 home runs and 46 RBI across 487 plate appearances.

Back from IL The Cardinals activated Carlson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He's batting third and playing right field against the Tigers.

Impact A sprain right wrist sent Carlson to the IL on Aug. 17, but he missed the minimum time and is back in action with St. Louis. Before the injury he had gotten into a groove at the plate, hitting .359 with three doubles, a home run and three RBI in his last 10 games. Austin Dean was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Impact He's also been playing some catch on the field recently prior to games, as per the Associated Press. It's unclear whether Carlson will be activated when eligible Tuesday.

More updates on Carlson's expected activation date should become available in the next couple days.

Hits injured list Carlson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right wrist.

Impact Carlson was initially listed in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers but will now miss not only that contest but several more as well. The issue has been bothering him for a few days, so the Cardinals can backdate the move to Saturday, leaving him eligible to return next Tuesday. Lars Nootbaar will take his place in right field Tuesday, with Austin Dean getting called up to fill a role as a reserve outfielder.

Scratched from lineup The Cardinals scratched Carlson (wrist) from their starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact St. Louis initially listed Carlson on the lineup card as its starting right fielder and leadoff man, but the 22-year-old's sprained right wrist apparently didn't respond as well to pregame work as the team hoped. With Carlson on the bench for a fourth straight game, Lars Nootbaar will pick up a start in right field.

Making return to lineup Carlson (wrist) will start in right field and lead off Tuesday against the Brewers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Carlson's sprained right wrist kept him on the bench for the entire weekend, but his absence didn't prevent St. Louis from sweeping the series in Kansas City and pushing its winning streak to six games. After the three-game absence, Carlson is apparently feeling better heading into the Cardinals' crucial series with the division-leading Brewers, which could have significant implications for St. Louis' wild-card hopes. The Cardinals will hope the brief hiatus didn't disrupt Carlson's rhythm at the plate; he had gone 14-for-39 (.359 average) with a home run and two stolen bases over the first 10 games of August before suffering the wrist injury.

Won't hit this weekend Carlson (wrist sprain) likely won't return to action until Tuesday at the earliest, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact X-rays showed no fracture, but Carlson's slight right wrist sprain will limit him to baserunning and possibly defense through the weekend. It's swinging a bat that's the problem right now for Carlson, and he is not even a lock to return early next week.
