i do not think it will matter,...If carpenter is dealing today...
However,...larussa likes to make alot of moves... mid, to late innings....
so playing short handed could factor into this game late...
LOS ANGELES - Second baseman Skip Schumaker and outfielder Allen Craig will be unavailable to the Cardinals in today's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Schumaker suffered a hyperextended right elbow Friday night, according to manager Tony La Russa, and Craig suffered an apparent groin strain while stealing an eighth-inning base in Saturday's 9-2 win.
Both players will be seen by team doctors on Monday's off day. Craig, who was double-switched from the game in the bottom of the eighth, said he could not have continued.
Schumaker said he suffered his injury on his next-to-last at-bat Friday. He attempted to take batting practice Saturday but quickly realized the problem persisted.
General manager John Mozeliak said the club would better realize whether a roster move is required for either player after Monday's examinations. However, Mozeliak remained optimistic the club could keep both active.
The Cardinals arrived at Dodger Stadium sporting turtlenecks in a team-building exercise. The trend replaces the moustache epidemic that went through the clubhouse two years ago.
Chris Carpenter faces Chad Billingsley this afternoon after enduring his worst start as a Cardinal last Tuesday in Arizona. Carpenter allowed eight runs and eight hits in four innings.
A Cardinals win would give the club its first four-game sweep at Dodger Stadium since July 1-4, 1968.
The Rest:

CF Colby Rasmus
1B Albert Pujols
LF Matt Holliday
