8/13/24 Tarik Skubal earns MLB-leading 14th win, Carpenter and Rogers lead Tigers in 15-1 rout of Mariners. Matt Carpenter homered twice in his return from a back injury, Jake Rogers drove in seven runs and pitcher Tarik Skubal earned his MLB-leading 14th victory as the Detroit Tigers routed the Seattle Mariners 15-1 on Tuesday night. Rogers drove in two runs with a double in the third inning, added a slam in the fourth and hit an RBI double in the sixth to become the first Tigers players with seven RBIs in a game since Ryan Raburn accomplished the feat against the Chicago White Sox on July 25, 2007. The Tigers scored a season-high in runs and banged out a season-best 21 hits in their second straight victory and fourth win in seven games.

7/22/24 Cardinals claim celebratory hand gestures reference music DJs, not Trump's fist pump. With four solo homers in Sunday's win, the Cardinals' hand gestures to celebrate hits got plenty of screen time — and drew some questions and unchecked speculation from national media outlets, including those covering baseball or spouting politics. The Cardinals' Matt Carpenter said the signals, which he did in the dugout, were inspired by Alec Burleson's nickname, “DJ Burly Biscuits,” and meant to mimic a DJ holding headphones to the air and encouraging the crowd to dance. A photo from Sunday's game of Lars Nootbaar shows him cupping his ear and holding out his hand as if spinning or scratching records on a turntable.

5/24/24 Braves Call up Reliever to Start in Pittsburgh on Friday Night. Free agent signing Reynaldo López, who is the rotation's ERA leader (1.54) after converting from three years of bullpen work, obviously has taught the Braves a lot about what qualities a reliever needs to have to make the conversion. Kerr, 29, was acquired by Atlanta this offseason from the San Diego Padres along with veteran Matt Carpenter (who was later released) in exchange for minor leaguer Drew Campbell.

5/14/24 Cardinals needed a boost from their bases-loaded blahs. They got it from one of the best ever.. Just about the only spot Matt Carpenter prefers to hit in more than with the bases loaded is when he has a 3-2 count and the bases loaded. It has been the worst possible outcome for the Cardinals. The Cardinals upended the Los Angeles Angels' lead, the game, and their offensive ineptitude all in one inning Monday night at Angel Stadium, and it hinged on producing in a spot they have struggled to do so all season. Blah with the bases loaded for most of the past month, the Cardinals produced nine runs in those opportunities on their way to a season high for runs and a 10-5 victory.

5/11/24 Cardinals make big Matt Carpenter roster move. It's been a slow start to the season for the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran infielder is officially being activated from the injured list, according to Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

3/21/24 Cardinals' Matt Carpenter gets 100% real on regrets from first St. Louis stint. Matt Carpenter is back with the St. Louis Cardinals, and he's hoping to play a role in helping them turn things around after a horrific 2023 campaign. While Carpenter had only been gone for two years, it's clear he's happy to be back with St. Louis. Carpenter turned himself into a key piece of the Cardinals during the 2010s, earning three All-Star selections and a Silver Slugger award in 2013. Look, in my eyes, I had dreams of running the table in St. Louis — playing my whole career here, finishing on a good note, playing out that contract, positively.

3/16/24 Matt Carpenter proving his return to Cardinals isn't just about nostalgia. Matt Carpenter doesn't want to be viewed as a glorified mascot or the Cardinals' clubhouse babysitter. Carpenter, who later admitted that he thought he had more room before he'd hit the tarp, made the catch to secure an out for his starting pitcher, Miles Mikolas, and the Cardinals went on to earn an 8-5 win over the Washington Nationals in a Grapefruit League game on Saturday afternoon.

3/07/24 Matt Carpenter opens up on new leadership role amid return to Cardinals. Matt Carpenter agreed to a one-year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals in January, returning to the ball club he played for from 2011-2021. Much older now, the infielder will be more of a role model and bench guy for the Cards and it sounds like he's excited to step into that position. “You know what, I'm here for one to show these young guys what it's like to be a Cardinal and how to be a professional and obviously win ball games but you know still when I get my name called be ready to compete and hopefully compete at a high level and bring some kind of value on the field as well.” Cardinals fans undoubtedly have fond memories of Carpenter, who played a huge part in the organization's success in the 2010s.
