Carpenter has yet to pitch in a game this season as he continues to recover from a nerve issue that forced him to be shut down during spring training. The nerve disorder crept into his right shoulder and kept him sidelined.

News
Cardinals third baseman David Freese was out of the lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday against the Padres. Manager Mike Matheny told MLB.com that he is keeping Freese out while he works through some mechanical issues with his swing. Freese is in the middle of a 3-for-34 slump. "For the most part, I would like to keep him on the shelf for a little while," Matheny said. "A lot of times you go in there and you work and you work and then you try and throw something in there mechanically in a situation with the game on the line and you can't help but take your mechanics out there. That's never a good spot. You can't be thinking mechanics when you're trying to hit a guy throwing 100 mph."
