Receives cortisone injection Carpenter (foot) received a cortisone injection Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old landed on the injured list Monday with left foot plantar fasciitis and didn't waste much time before getting treatment. Plantar fasciitis often carries a lengthy recovery timeline, but it's possible Carpenter's situation is more of an issue of pain tolerance, at least in the short term.

Shelved by plantar fasciitis The Tigers placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Monday with left foot plantar fasciitis.

Impact He exited Sunday's game versus the Royals with what was initially referred to as an aggravation of a bruised right heel, but after being evaluated further Carpenter has been tagged with a plantar fasciitis diagnosis. It's an injury with the potential to lead to a lengthy absence, though it could be a pain tolerance issue for Carpenter. Matt Vierling, Hao-Yu Lee and Eduardo Valencia are candidates for more reps for the Tigers while Carpenter is out.

Impact Detroit plans to re-evaluate Carpenter on Tuesday before making any roster moves, but Eduardo Valencia is en route from Triple-A Toledo and is expected to be formally recalled in the likely event Carpenter goes on the IL. The 28-year-old slugger made an early exit in Sunday's loss to the Royals due to what was referred to as an aggravation of a bruised right heel, but Hinch indicated that Carpenter is believed to be dealing with a slightly different injury. Along with Valencia, Carpenter's expected move to the IL could open up more reps for the likes of Matt Vierling and Hao-Yu Lee, both of whom are included in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Orioles.

Not starting Monday Carpenter (heel) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Carpenter will need at least one day off after he was lifted following the fourth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals due to right heel discomfort. Per MLB.com, Carpenter had recently been playing through a painful bruise on the same foot, which was caused by a pair of new cleats. Carpenter was set to undergo a more thorough evaluation of heel Monday, and the Tigers are classifying him as day-to-day for the time being.

Impact Carpenter has been dealing with a bruised right heel for over a week, and he tweaked the injury in Sunday's defeat. Manager AJ Hinch stated that the 28-year-old is set for further evaluation in the near future. Carpenter can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Impact The Tigers should provide an explanation for Carpenter's early exit later Sunday, but McCosky notes that the 28-year-old appeared to be in some discomfort following a swing in the bottom of the fourth. Carpenter had previously sat out a game Tuesday due to a bruised heel, though it's unclear if his removal from Sunday's contest is related to that injury.

Impact Carpenter has recently been playing through a bruised heel and was pulled from Monday's series opener due to the injury, and he'll miss at least one start. The 28-year-old may not have been in the lineup regardless of the injury since lefty David Peterson is pitching Tuesday for Chicago.

Impact Carpenter reached base on an error in the 10th inning, and after he appeared to be experiencing some discomfort, the Tigers elected to pinch run for him. It's encouraging that 28-year-old has been able to push through the injury over the last few days, but his status will be worth keeping an eye on heading into Tuesday's clash.

Connects for 13th home run Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

Impact Carpenter took tough New York righty Cam Schlittler deep in the first inning. The outfielder didn't do much after that, though it was enough to extend his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone deep three times during the hot stretch. Overall, Carpenter has 13 home runs, 36 RBI and an .810 OPS across 63 contests this season, with almost all of his damage coming against righties.
