Not starting Game 2 Carpenter is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the ALDS in Cleveland.

Impact Carpenter routinely sits versus lefties and will do so in this instance versus Guardians southpaw Matthew Boyd. He is a good bet to enter the contest off the bench when/if Cleveland goes to a righty reliever. Justyn-Henry Malloy will be the designated hitter and leadoff man in Game 2.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Game 1 lineup Carpenter is absent from the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Astros.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Carpenter doesn't typically start against lefties, so it's not a surprise to see him out of the lineup as the Astros send southpaw Framber Valdez to the hill. Justyn-Henry Malloy will be the Tigers' designated hitter and No. 2 hitter.

Pops grand slam in season finale Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Carpenter made his lone hit count, going deep with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old finishes the 2024 campaign with 18 home runs and a robust .932 OPS across 87 games. Injuries slowed Carpenter down a bit this season, but he's now primed to lead the Tigers into the postseason, and he could be a breakout candidate in 2025 if he manages to have better luck with his health.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not facing lefty Carpenter is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Carpenter will dodge a same-hand matchup with Garrett Crochet, giving way to Justyn-Henry Malloy at DH. In his last six games, Carpenter is 6-for-15 (.400) with a pair of homers.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against lefty Carpenter is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Impact With southpaw Tyler Alexander toeing the rubber for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will take a seat for the series finale. Andy Ibanez will enter the Detroit lineup as a replacement for Carpenter and will serve as the Tigers' leadoff hitter.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep twice Sunday Carpenter went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Carpenter continued to help power the Tigers toward an unlikely playoff berth, as he's now sporting a robust .952 OPS to go with 17 home runs in just 82 games this season. The most important thing has been that the 27-year-old is healthy, as he missed nearly three months of action with a lumbar spine stress fracture earlier this year. When Carpenter is in the lineup, he's turned into a reliable fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down against lefty Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday versus the Orioles, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Carpenter and his .408 OPS against southpaws will ride the pine Saturday against left-hander Cade Povich and the O's. As a result, Justyn-Henry Malloy will enter the lineup as Detroit's designated hitter and bat fifth.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out against left-hander Carpenter is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus southpaw Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Provides offense Friday Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 1-0 win over the Orioles.

Impact Carpenter went deep just two batters into the bottom of the first inning and it was all the offense Detroit ended up needing. The 26-year-old is up to 15 home runs across 75 games this season. Carpenter may be stretched to match last year's career-high 20 long balls with just 14 contests to go in the regular season, though he needed 118 games to reach that mark. When healthy, Carpenter has proven to be a dynamic power bat so far in his young MLB career.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four hits against Rox Carpenter went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact He couldn't find the homer that would have given him a cycle, but Carpenter continues to swing a hot bat. In 23 games since coming off the IL, the 27-year-old is slashing .313/.378/.625 with six home runs, 12 runs and 20 RBI, albeit with a worrisome 33.3 percent strikeout rate.

Doubles, drives in two Sunday Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact After getting a breather Saturday with Oakland starting a southpaw, Carpenter returned and wasted no time making an impact. The 26-year-old continues to deliver strong results when he's healthy, as he's sporting a robust .941 OPS since returning from the injured list in mid-August. Carpenter may get occasional days off against lefties, but he's become an excellent fantasy contributor when he's in the lineup.
