Back in action Wednesday
Carpenter (heel) will serve as the DH and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Analyse
Carpenter had been playing through a bruised heel for a couple of days before eventually sitting out Tuesday's game, but he now seems ready to go for Wednesday's series finale. The 28-year-old has been stuck in a cold spell at the plate recently, going 0-for-26 with nine strikeouts in his last 10 games.

Not in Tuesday's lineup
Carpenter (heel) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Analyse
Carpenter has recently been playing through a bruised heel and was pulled from Monday's series opener due to the injury. He'll miss at least one start, though the 28-year-old may not have been in the lineup regardless of the injury since lefty David Peterson is pitching Tuesday for Chicago. Dillon Dingler will serve as the designated hitter while Jake Rogers works behind the plate.

Fighting through heel contusion
Carpenter has been playing through a bruised heel over the last few games, and he was removed from Monday's game against the Cubs after appearing to be in some discomfort, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Analyse
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.
