Carter is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

Carter went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers Friday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Carter's bombs came off of Michael Wacha, and the second one gave them a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning in a game the Brewers would go on to win. He now has three homers in seven July games to give him 22 on the season.

Carter is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Carter has been surprisingly durable for the Brewers this season, starting 77 of 81 games at first base. He'll get a regular day off for Monday's early contest, however, giving way to Jonathan Lucroy at first base while Martin Maldonado mans the backstop.

Carter went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer Thursday at the Dodgers.

Carter is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Craig Counsell wanted to keep Jonathan Lucroy's bat in the order for Wednesday's afternoon tilt so he slid him to first base, which bumped Carter to the bench. Carter figures to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Carter homered twice and drove in five runs in a 2-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The story with Carter continues to be his ridiculous home-road splits. Carter has now hit 12 of his 16 home runs at Miller Park as he continues to feast on Milwaukee's short fences. Daily fantasy players take note -- Carter was hitting .230/.274/.584 with 24 of his 34 RBI at home and just .211/.295/.378 on the road before Tuesday's game and only exacerbated those splits with another big game at home against the Athletics.

Carter went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two strikeouts against Philadelphia on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter has a lot of power in his bat, so he'll always have fantasy value, but he needs to make more contact to become more consistent threat. This was Carter's first homer since May 20, and it's no secret that he's been struggling at the plate of late. Carter has hit only .143 (6-for-42) over the past 10 games.

Carter is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Carter tallied three home runs and nine RBI over his last eight games, but he also struck out 11 times over his last four contests, so manager Craig Counsell decided it was time for a day off. Ramon Flores will get the start at first base in Carter's place.

Carter was 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a losing effort against the Mets on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
His two-run shot in the first inning put the Brewers in front, but that was all the offense they could muster. While his batting average (.247) is not a fantasy asset, his 13 home runs and 31 RBI hitting in the middle of the Milwaukee lineup are certainly useful.

Carter went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, one run and two RBI Sunday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Carter's 11th bomb of the year gave the Brewers an early lead in a game they'd go on to win. Although it was his first homer in 10 games, he has six bombs this month, and his slugging percentage is at .592.
