Matt Carpenter had been out for the St. Louis Cardinals since about 10 days ago but as the second half of the season opens up on Friday with a home series, the third baseman will be back on the active roster.
Carpenter has been one of, if not the most disappointing position players this year as after a similar horrid start to the season like he went through last year, he has yet to rebound. Even worse, last year there were many statistics one could look at to see clearly that things were going to turn around for the third baseman.
