Dylan Carlson Back In Lineup Against Mets
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (elbow) has returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Mets and right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Carlson is starting in right field and is batting sixth in the order. He was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a left-elbow bruise, but he's back in there a day later. The 24-year-old switch-hitter has been a disappointment so far in 2023, hitting .248 (30-for-121) with five doubles, a triple, three home runs, 16 RBI and 15 runs scored in 137 plate appearances over 40 games. He's been better so far in June, though, going 7-for-21 (.333) with a double, homer and four RBI in eight games. All three of his long balls this year have come against right-handers, but he's also hitting .235 (19-for-81) against them.
