Kerry Carpenter - Starting against lefty Monday Carpenter is starting in left field and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Carpenter has retreated to the bench in recent matchups with lefty starters Carlos Rodon and Max Fried, but the former will get the nod Monday despite Milwaukee sending out southpaw Tyler Alexander to start the game. Alexander is more of a long reliever who may only cover a few innings, so it's possible Carpenter only has to face him once before getting a chance to do some damage against a righty. The outfielder posted a .994 OPS against righties during the 2024 regular season but saw that figure fall to .408 in a small sample against lefties.

Colt Keith - Heads to bench Monday Keith is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Milwaukee is starting lefty Tyler Alexander, so the lefty-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench, with Spencer Torkelson covering first base and Justyn-Henry Malloy serving as the DH. Alexander is more of a long reliever who will likely only cover a few innings, however, so Keith could be used as a pinch hitter depending on how the Brewers deploy their bullpen.

Justyn-Henry Malloy - Leading off Monday Malloy is serving as the DH and batting first in Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Malloy was out of the lineup two of the last three days but will slot back in with Milwaukee starting lefty Tyler Alexander. To make room for Malloy at DH, Spencer Torkelson will cover first base, with the lefty-hitting Colt Keith heading to the bench. Malloy has some appeal against southpaws, though he will likely fall back out of the lineup the next time Detroit faces a righty starter.

Ryan Jeffers - Taking seat Monday Jeffers is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Jeffers returned to action Sunday following a two-game absence with a swollen thumb, but he's now back on the bench for Monday's series opener. He has not had any known setback, so this appears to be a routine day off for Jeffers. Christian Vazquez will do the catching and bat ninth for the Twins.
