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

Likely bound for IL
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Carpenter is being evaluated for plantar fasciitis in his left foot and is trending toward a stint on the injured list, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Analisi
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 playing time 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.
Analisi
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 his heel Monday, and the Tigers are classifying him as day-to-day for the time being.

Aggravated previous injury
Carpenter aggravated a right heel injury before he was lifted after four innings during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He went 0-for-2 at the plate prior to his departure.
Analisi
Carpenter has been dealing with a bruised right heel for over a week, and he tweaked the injury Sunday before Ben Malgeri came on to replace him in the top of the fifth. Manager A.J. Hinch said after the game 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.

Makes early exit Sunday
Carpenter was lifted from Sunday's game against the Royals after four innings due to an apparent injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He went hitless in two at-bats prior to his departure.
Analisi
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.

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.
Analisi
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.
