St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (ankle) will undergo season-ending left-ankle surgery, according to manager Oliver Marmol. It makes sense for Carlson to get the injury addressed after dealing with left-ankle issues since all the way back in the middle of May. Barring any setbacks in the offseason, Carlson should be ready for spring training next year. The 24-year-old had a rough 2023 campaign for the Cardinals, hitting just .219 (48-for-219) with five home runs, 27 RBI, three stolen bases and 27 runs scored in 76 games played in his fourth season in the major leagues with St. Louis. The former first-round selection will need to get healthy first before the 2024 season before he jumps back on the fantasy radar.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (ankle/oblique) has avoided season-ending surgery after receiving an injection in his left ankle, according to MLB.com. The former top prospect has been on the IL since earlier this month after straining his oblique but is also dealing with a lingering ankle issue. Carlson hopes to return this season and improve on his .219/.318/.333 slash line, but there's no timetable at the moment. The 24-year-old hasn't done much of anything offensively, as he's gone deep just five times and has recorded 27 runs, 27 RBI, and three steals across 76 games.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (ankle/oblique) is considering going for season-ending surgery on his injured left ankle. The 24-year-old originally landed on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 12 with a left oblique strain, but he is also still bothered by soreness stemming from a left ankle sprain he suffered back on May 24. In a lost season for the Cardinals and with an eye towards 2024, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Carlson opt for the surgery at this stage. The former first-round pick's 2023 return remains up in the air, and season-long fantasy managers should probably be looking to let go. The switch-hitting Carlson put forth a promising 2021, but he's barely been fantasy relevant this year in hitting .219 (48-for-219) with five home runs, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored, and three stolen bases.

St. Louis Cardinals top prospectDylan Carlson looks set to start the 2021 season with the Major League team after making his MLB debut in 2020. Carlson didn't get called up until mid-August and only saw action in 35 games for the Cardinals, hitting .200/.252/.364 with three homers and a stolen base. But Carlson did improve as the season went on and he had a .611 slugging percentage over the final two weeks of the season. Considered a good all-around hitter with above-average power potential, he displayed those tools in 2019 across Double-A and Triple-A with 26 homers, 20 stolen bases and an impressive .292/.372/.542 slash line in 126 games.Carlson is a switch-hitter who plays good defense in all three outfield spots, so he should see plenty of playing time with most of it likely coming in right field. Although the Cardinals lineup does have some question marks, Carlson has the upside to be a five-category contributor in 2021, with 25 homers and 12 steals more than possible. He does only have a total of 198 plate appearances above Double-A and he's had a slow spring to date so growing pains are possible. However, Carlson in a great position to outperform his 168 ADP once he gets his bat going.
