Astros first baseman Chris Carter was held out the starting lineup for the third consecutive game Tuesday night against the Cardinals with a minor hand injury. Carter took part in batting practice Tuesday and could return soon, manager Bo Porter told MLB.com.

"I shook his hand. He said, 'It's OK for me to shake your hand, but if you squeeze, it hurts,'" Porter said. "He didn't really feel too many ill effects, but I think it's good for him to go through a full batting practice today."
