Carpenter sent down, Sanchez unavailable
Two bits of news this morning:
* According to a club source, Matt Carpenter is the player on his way out today to make room for Kyle McClellan on the active roster. Carpenter will be optioned to Triple-A Memphis. Carpenter went 1-for-15 with a double, four walks and four strikeouts in seven games.
* Pitching coach Dave Duncan told KFNS 590 AM this morning that Eduardo Sanchez has some “tightness in his shoulder” and will be unavailable for a few days. I’ll obviously be chasing this today.
More to come on the site as the day goes on.

Great! As if the bullpen isn’t struggling enough, now a bright spot in Sanchez is out for a bit…
I wasn’t really too impressed with Carpenters showing while he was up. Looked a little overmatched at the plate.
Your headline got me excited, but it was the wrong Carpenter.
