Following a slow start, the Cardinals' leadoff hitter is once again proving himself as an elite fantasy performer.
Well, it took a little while, but it appears Matt Carpenter is all the way back.
In Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians, the St. Louis Cardinals' leadoff hitter went 5-for-5 with 2 home runs, a performance that put an exclamation point on what has been a remarkable recovery from a month-and-a-half-long slump to start the season. And it's clear that Carpenter owners are being rewarded for their patience.
Matt Carpenter's 3rd leadoff home run this season & the 18th of his career!
