Kerry Carpenter - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Hits 15th home run Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

Impact Carpenter was one of four Detroit players to go deep, launching his 15th home run of the season in the third inning against Minnesota right-handed starter Bailey Ober. The left-hand hitting outfielder has recorded 13 of his long balls against righties this year and has a .780 OPS in those matchups, compared to just a .600 OPS against southpaws. Due to his splits, Carpenter will likely continue to sit often versus lefties, but he's a solid fantasy option when a righty is on the mound.

Goes deep in easy win Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

Impact Carpenter wasted no time recording his 14th home run of the season, going deep three batters into the contest. The outfielder had been mired in a slump before Tuesday, going 2-for-33 with 11 strikeouts in 11 games since a three-hit effort back on June 8. Carpenter will need to string together a few more good performances to truly put the slump behind him, but he has the talent to heat up quickly.

Back on bench vs. lefty Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Carpenter started the last the time the Tigers faced a southpaw starter Thursday against the Orioles, though lefty Keegan Akin merely worked the first inning before giving way to right-handed bulk reliever Keegan Akin. The Reds are sending out a more traditional lefty starter in Wade Miley to the hill Sunday, so the lefty-hitting Carpenter will give up his spot in the lineup to Wenceel Perez, who draws the start in right field. Carpenter is batting just .194/.189/.389 in 37 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

Starting against lefty Carpenter is starting in right field and batting fifth in Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Carpenter often hits the bench against lefties, but southpaw Keegan Akin is serving as an opener for Baltimore and only expected to cover an inning or two. When he departs, righty Dean Kremer is expected to be the bulk pitcher, and Carpenter has an .826 OPS against righties compared to a .594 mark against lefties this season.

Tallies three hits in win Carpenter went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.

Impact After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to hamstring tightness, Carpenter has managed to play the last four days, with Sunday's effort his most productive performance during the stretch. The outfielder has been a reliable fantasy contributor all season with a .274 batting average, .808 OPS, 13 home runs, 27 RBI and 36 runs scored across 62 games. Carpenter could post career-high stats in a number of categories this year if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Impact Carpenter was scratched from the lineup Wednesday with a right hamstring issue that had been bothering him for a few days.

Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Carpenter was scratched from the Tigers' lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact It's unclear when Carpenter tweaked his hamstring, but it's severe enough for the 27-year-old outfielder to be taken out of the starting lineup, though he could be available to pinch hit out of the dugout. Wenceel Perez will start in right field and bat fifth in Carpenter's absence.
