CHICAGO — On the eve of the official transaction that brought Dylan Carlson to the majors for the first time, manager Mike Shildt, from his hotel room in Chicago, said oh yes Carlson will play, oh yes he'll start a lot, and for sure he's going to play all over the outfield.
Carlson will play his third game in the majors Sunday.
He will also complete the hat trick of positions started.
The rookie, who doubled in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader sweep for his first big-league hit, will get a run in center field Sunday as the Cardinals go for the wipeout in the series against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Park.
