Chris Carpenter Sees Improvement After Rehab Start

It wasn't that long ago that many thought Chris Carpenter wouldn't pitch in another professional game. Now, just months after a news conference that felt like a goodbye, Chris Carpenter allowed three runs -- two earned -- in 2 2/3 innings in a rehab start for Double-A Springfield on Monday night against the Arkansas Travelers, a Los Angeles Angels affiliate.

For Cardinals right-hander Chris Carpenter, the first two innings of his first rehab start Monday night in Springfield went well enough. The third inning, however, was not so hot.

Chris Carpenter wouldn’t say exactly how much time he is giving himself in his latest comeback attempt, but the likely Hall of Famer knows he’s on the clock.

The results were not as important Monday night as how Chris Carpenter felt, and how he will feel on Tuesday, and that was probably a good thing for the Cardinals.
