Who's off the 40-man and who's going down?
I presume he'll platoon with Scal until (if) Freese makes it back.

Kozma got sent down last night. And Cleto will probably go back down.

Hamilton is also being brought up. Either Lynn or Cleto will be sent out, giving the team 13 position players and 12 pitchers.

The sensation of spring training arrived this afternoon at Busch Stadium as a welcome addition to the bench, though his playing time will be a bit topic of pre-game discussion. Carpenter flashed a good-enough glove in spring training at the hot corner, and his manager at Triple-A described him as "improving daily." "To me he's improved," Maloney said. "He's improved all the time." Carpenter is deft at throwing on the run, a measure of his reaction and his arm strength. He flashed that skill in spring training as he proved nimble at racing in to field a bunt or meek grounder and make the play while throwing on the run or off a hop. He has been less consistent on the backhand, and he likes to shade close to the line to kind of help himself get in a more comfortable position. He worked on that part of the position this spring, and he has continued to drill on his backhand at Memphis. "He's working on it," Maloney said. "He's got a good enough arm for the position, and he wants to improve. That's helping. This guys has got his game face on when he arrives at the ballpark. He plays with intensity, very serious, and he brings that to no matter he's trying to do at the ballpark."

I read something the other day that made it sound like they had an open spot on the 40-man roster.

They released some guy named Blake King. For some reason I thought there may have been one other move that had them down to 38, but I may be wrong about that.
