ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Matt Carpenter - Provides offense off bench Carpenter hit a two-run home-run as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Carpenter was activated from a minimum stay on the injured list due to a back strain earlier in the day. He's played in just seven games since the All-Star break, going 4-for-10 with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored in those contests. The 38-year-old is expected to remain in a bench role most of the time, while Alec Burleson and Willson Contreras continue to garner most of the at-bats at designated hitter. Carpenter is slashing .261/.336/.414 with four homers, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 125 plate appearances.

Erick Fedde - Just misses quality start Tuesday Fedde (8-7) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 3-2 to the Brewers. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander tossed only 53 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his inefficiency left him one out short of his 11th quality start of the season. Fedde has had a bumpy beginning to his St. Louis tenure after being acquired at the trade deadline, going 1-3 in his first four starts for the team with a 4.98 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB through 21.2 innings. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Minnesota.

Lance Lynn - Throwing another live BP Lynn (knee) threw a session of live batting practice Tuesday and is scheduled for another session Monday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol previously indicated Lynn might be able to return from the injured list following Tuesday's live BP, but the right-hander will need at least one more session before being activated. The 37-year-old threw the equivalent of three innings and should continue building up his workload in the next session before potentially rejoining the rotation later next week.

Steven Matz - Making rehab start Wednesday Matz (back) is scheduled to throw about 90 pitches in his rehab start with Tripel-A Memphis on Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Matz has a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 13 frames in his four previous rehab outings, and Wednesday's start is likely to be his last before being reinstated from the injured list. The left-hander will be fully stretched out as a starter, though his official role upon being activated has yet to be determined. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated the club could move to the six-man roster with Lance Lynn (knee) also on the cusp of returning from the injured list.

Luken Baker - Summoned from minors The Cardinals recalled Baker from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Baker has slashed .231/.345/.535 with 32 home runs in 108 games this season at Memphis, which includes a 1.096 OPS versus left-handed pitching. The 27-year-old is blocked by Paul Goldschmidt at first base but figures to see some looks at designated hitter against southpaws.

Jordan Walker - Optioned back to minors The Cardinals optioned Walker to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Walker was recalled early last week, but he was given only three starts in six games, with all of those starts coming against left-handers. He went just 1-for-11 over that stretch and is now headed back to Memphis, where he can receive regular reps again.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Carpenter - Returns from injured list The Cardinals reinstated Carpenter (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The 38-year-old will end up missing only the 10-day minimum due to a back strain. Carpenter went 0-for-2 with two walks and two strikeouts in his lone start of August prior to landing on the shelf, and he's unlikely to see consistent at-bats for the Cardinals down the stretch.

Iván Herrera - Heating up at Triple-A Herrera (shoulder) is 6-for-12 with one home run, four RBI, one stolen base and one run scored over his last three games at Triple-A Memphis.

Impact Herrera was held out for a little over a week earlier in the month while recovering from a left shoulder sprain, but he's since been given the green light to return and has looked dialed in at the dish. He's now slashing .345/.457/.448 through eight games in August.
