Out of lineup Saturday Carpenter is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact It's a bit odd to see Carpenter absent against an opposing righty starter (Nick Pivetta), although Pivetta has dramatic reverse splits this season with an .827 OPS allowed to righties and a .630 OPS allowed to lefties. Regardless, Colt Keith will take over as the designated hitter while Zach McKinstry starts at second, with Matt Vierling in right field and batting third.

Tees off again Friday Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Carpenter provided a key blast in the eighth inning as the Tigers clawed back from a 4-0 deficit to eventually force extra innings. He now has 14 long balls this season, with six of those coming in just 15 games since returning from the injured list on Aug. 13. Carpenter has turned into a dynamic fantasy performer when healthy, and he could be poised for some monster stats down the stretch.

Homers in win Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Carpenter gave the Tigers the lead on an RBI single in the fourth inning and then crushed a 425-foot home run in the sixth. In 12 games since returning from the injured list, the 26-year-old has gone deep five times and driven in 11 runs. He will likely continue to sit against southpaws but has a fantastic .314/.366/.657 slash with 13 homers and 39 RBI in just 169 at-bats against righties this season.

Doubles, scores twice in win Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a double and a two runs scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over the White Sox.

Impact Carpenter continued to hit the ball hard since returning from the injured list due to a lumbar spine stress fracture. In 10 games following his activation, the 26-year-old is batting .270 with five extra-base hits, including four home runs. Carpenter has been a dynamic offensive player when healthy over the past two seasons, and he's now sporting a robust .836 OPS for his career across 209 games at the MLB level.

Sitting out versus lefty Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday versus the White Sox.

Impact The left-handed bat of Carpenter will get a chance to rest Saturday as the Tigers face left-hander Ky Bush. Colt Keith will move into the DH role while Carpenter sits, allowing Andy Ibanez to start at the keystone.

Goes deep in win Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact Carpenter returned to the lineup on Aug. 13 after being out since late May due to a lumbar spine stress fracture, and he's been on a power surge over the past seven games. The 26-year-old has gone deep four times in that span, giving him 12 home runs in only 57 games this season. Carpenter is sporting a robust .918 OPS, and he should remain a potent fantasy option if he stays on the field.

Idle vs. lefty Carpenter is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Yankees.

Impact Carpenter has gone 5-for-16 with three home runs and five RBI in his four outings since being activated off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. With southpaw Carlos Rodon taking the mound for the Yankees on Saturday, Colt Keith will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot while Carpenter begins the contest in the dugout.

Delivers key blast Wednesday Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Mariners.

Impact Carpenter was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts entering the eighth inning, and the Tigers trailed 2-0, but he delivered a key home run to tie the contest. The 26-year-old has now gone deep twice in two games since returning from the injured list following a nearly three-month absence, giving him 11 homers for the season in just 154 at-bats. Carpenter appears to be fully healthy, though Detroit will likely find him some rest days in the near future to ease him back into action.

Homers twice in return Carpenter went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Carpenter returned from the injured list with a bang, homering twice off George Kirby in his first game since May 26. The 26-year-old appeared to be breaking out before his injury and is now slashing .293/.349/.613 with 10 long balls in just 168 plate appearances this season. He will likely sit against lefties, having gone just 1-for-16 against them so far, but is certainly worth a look wherever he is available.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter hits an opposite field home run in his return to the lineup vs. the Mariners

AUGUST 13, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Activated from IL, batting second The Tigers activated Carpenter (back) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Carpenter is starting at designated hitter and batting second for the Tigers on Tuesday versus the Mariners after missing nearly three months of action with a lumbar spine stress fracture. The 26-year-old put up a .914 OPS with eight home runs in 50 games earlier this season for the Tigers before the injury.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for activation Tuesday Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said on MLB Network Radio that Carpenter (back) would be activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact He played four rehab games with Triple-A Toledo, going 3-for-14 with one double and a 5:1 K:BB, and that was evidently enough to convince the Tigers he was ready. Carpenter has been sidelined since late May with a lumbar spine stress fracture. The Tigers might ease him back into things with extra days off versus left-handed pitching, but Carpenter is worth scooping back up in fantasy leagues where he was dropped. He posted a .914 OPS with eight homers in 50 games earlier this season for Detroit before getting hurt.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Carpenter (back) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Impact A stress fracture in Carpenter's back forced him onto the injured list in late May, and his time on the injured list was extended after he suffered a setback in July. Given the amount of time he's missed, it's possible the 26-year-old could be in line for a lengthy stay in the minors.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

More activities this weekend Carpenter (back) will take live batting practice Saturday and run the bases Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Carpenter ran the bases at Comerica Park on Thursday and will continue to ramp things back up this weekend. A rehab assignment looks to be close, perhaps with one coming next week if he gets through his activities this weekend with no problems. Carpenter has been sidelined since late May with a lumbar spine stress fracture.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Runs bases Thursday Carpenter (back) ran the bases at Comerica Park on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Running the bases is often the final box a player needs to check before they go out on a rehab assignment, so it's certainly a good sign for Carpenter. The outfielder has been sidelined since late May with a lumbar spine stress fracture, and because he's missed so much time he'll probably require more than just a couple rehab games.
