Matt Carpenter Returns Saturday
Matt Carpenter (shin) is back in the leadoff spot and is playing third base while facing Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester on Saturday. Carpenter has been a big disappointment to his fantasy owners so far in 2019, hitting just .225/.336/.399 with nine home runs, 22 RBI and three teals in 250 plate appearances. However, he's been heating up a little of late, batting .281 (18-for-64) with five homers and 13 RBI in his last 28 days. Hopefully sitting out of the lineup for a few games this week won't interrupt his hot hitting of late.
