Carp’s Soreness Sending Him Back to STL

MIAMI — Cardinals starter
Chris Carpenter will return to St. Louis on Tuesday morning to meet with team doctors about the pain in his right arm that forced him out of Sunday night’s game after 66 pitches, a team official confirmed Monday.
Carpenter came to Dolphin Stadium this afternoon, met with the team’s trainers and had a closed-door meeting with manager
Tony La Russa. Afterward, Carpenter said the right arm — specifically in the triceps area — was “still a little sore”. But he added that the plan, at that time, was for him to throw a bullpen here Tuesday and then determine if he could make his next scheduled start, on Friday. After an additional set of meetings with team officials, that plan changed.
Carpenter will return to St. Louis on Tuesday meet with
Dr. George Paletta there to determine the next step for the righthander. The team felt the discomfort was enough — especially this close to Carpenter returning from last summer’s Tommy John surgery – that the doctor should have a first-hand look before Carpenter attempts to throw.
