Yadier Molina #4 and Dylan Carlson #3 of the St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals are poised to potentially bolster their roster with the impending return of sidelined players. Throughout the current season, the team has yet to field a complete lineup due to injuries. Notably, outfielder Dylan Carlson has yet to make an appearance due to a shoulder injury.
However, there are positive developments regarding Carlson’s rehabilitation progress. According to MLB.com’s John Denton, Cardinals manager Oli Marmol stated that Carlson is scheduled to engage in batting practice at Busch Stadium, with the possibility of commencing a Minor League rehab assignment in the coming days contingent upon his continued improvement.
Should Carlson progress as expected and embark on a minor-league rehab stint soon, it would provide a much-needed boost for the Cardinals, particularly in the outfield. Despite his young age and recent injury setbacks, Carlson’s potential impact on the team’s performance is highly anticipated.
While speculation surrounds Carlson’s future with the organization, his imminent return presents an opportunity for immediate assistance. With the outfield situation in flux, Carlson’s return could offer stability and production, potentially fulfilling the promise he has shown in previous seasons.
