"He may not come back as a starter," pitching coach Dave Duncan said Friday. "It is important for him to pitch before the season ends. He doesn't care what role that is. He just wants to pitch as much as he can before the season ends so that he's comfortable going into spring training. "We have talked about starting and we have talked about reliever. He's not against either one." Carpenter threw a 60-pitch workout in the bullpen on Friday afternoon and all parties were "encouraged" by the results.

I want to be able to go out there and compete." St. Louis Cardinals Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets MLB Suspends Cards' Lohse Five Games
