Some Conflicting Reports On Chris Carpenter's Health

A couple of hours ago, the Rangers formalized C.J. Wilson as their Game 1 starter, and announced that they were still undecided as to what order they wanted to deploy Colby Lewis, Derek Holland, and Matt Harrison in.
Meanwhile, the widely held assumption has been that Chris Carpenter will start opposite Wilson in Game 1, with Derrick Goold reporting the following early this morning:
The righthander has received treatment for soreness in his right elbow, a source familiar with the situation said. Carpenter said he felt fine and that the added workload of October wasn't wearing on him.
When asked about the elbow, he said, "It's nothing; I'm all good."
La Russa rejected the description of Carpenter as "sore."
A little while ago, however, we got this report from ESPN 1220's Twitter account:
Cards ace pitcher Chris Carpenter has a sore elbow and may not be available to start game 1 of World Series Wed.
Now, to be clear, I regard Goold as being more reputable than a regional ESPN affiliate ... but if there's anything to this report about Carpenter possibly not being able to go in Game 1, he'd be looking at starting either Games 2 and 6 or Games 3 and 7 rather than Games 1 and 5 -- and be pitted against either Derek Holland or Colby Lewis, instead of C.J. Wilson.
I don't yet know how much of a good thing that would be.
