NJ Advance Media | Brendan Kuty: Matt Carpenter, who is slugging over .700 this year with 15 homers, fractured his left foot on Monday. There was fear he would have to miss the rest of the season, but after meeting with a doctor on Wednesday, he received some good news. He’s been told it was a “clean break” and that he’ll see another doctor for a follow-up examination in New York City within a few days. Carpenter won’t need surgery and could be back in six-to-eight weeks — no guarantees on a return since setbacks are always possible, but a promising sign for late September that encouraged the mustachioed clubhouse leader.
