Dylan Carlson Back In Lineup Against Mets
11 months 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.
