ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis right-hander Chris Carpenter has been slowed in his attempt to come back from neck and shoulder nerve damage and will skip his next rehab start.
The 2005 Cy Young Award winner struggled Saturday in his latest minor league outing, allowing four runs and nine hits over 3 1/3 innings for the Cardinals' Class AAA farm club in Memphis.
"I'm going to take a little bit of time [off]," Carpenter said Tuesday. "After that last start, it just wasn't what we were looking for."

The 38-year-old Carpenter said he felt numbness in his hand during the 8-1 loss to Oklahoma City, and the condition hasn't subsided.
"We're going to take a step back -- again," Carpenter said.
He expects to consult with the Cardinals' medical staff over the next few days before planning his next move.
