Carlson (.455) will be in center field for Cardinals as Martinez pitches

JUPITER, Fla.—Dylan Carlson, the 21-year-old who has been among the most impressive players in Cardinals’ camp, will open in center field Saturday behind Carlos Martinez, who will be making his second appearance when the World Series champion Washington Nationals visit. Carlson is five for 11 (.455) with two extra-base hits and three walks.

Kolten Wong will hit first and Paul DeJong fourth and Rangel Ravelo, who lost a fly ball in the sun at Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Friday, will be in the outfield again.

Ryan Helsley, Giovanny Gallegos and Tyler Webb will be among the other pitchers Saturday for the Cardinals.
