Dealing with hamstring injury
Carpenter was removed from Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Rays due to right hamstring soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Carpenter went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI before being replaced in the field during the eighth inning. The 27-year-old is headed for medical testing, which should provide clarity on whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Batting leadoff Saturday
Carpenter is starting in left field and batting first in Saturday's game against the Royals.
Analysis
Carpenter has primarily batted second this season for the Tigers, but he'll slide up to the leadoff spot for the third time. The Royals are starting righty Seth Lugo, and Carpenter has a .954 OPS against righties so far this year. However, the outfielder is just 1-for-8 in his career against Lugo with two strikeouts.

Tallies three hits in win
Carpenter went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals.
Analysis
After sitting Wednesday against southpaw Jose Quintana, Carpenter returned with a bang Thursday. The outfielder pushed his OPS up to a stellar .913, which is actually a bit below last year's .932 mark. Carpenter still rests often against lefties, but when a righty is on the mound, he's become one of the better offensive threats in the American League.

Sitting versus southpaw
Carpenter is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis
It's southpaw Jose Quintana on the bump for the Brewers, so the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will begin the festivities on the bench. Justyn-Henry Malloy is getting a start in right field, while Gleyber Torres will handle designated-hitter duties.

Goes deep in easy win
Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.
Analysis
Carpenter started despite Milwaukee rolling out lefty Tyler Alexander. The outfielder didn't record any hits against Alexander, but as soon as the Brewers turned to righty reliever Elvin Rodriguez, Carpenter struck with his fifth home run of the season in the fifth inning. He followed that up with a single in the seventh, again facing Rodriguez. Carpenter is having a good start to his year with an even .900 OPS through 16 games, and he should continue to pulverize right-handed pitching, though he often sits against tough southpaws.

Starting against lefty Monday
Carpenter is starting in left field and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Brewers.
Analysis
Carpenter has retreated to the bench in recent matchups with lefty starters Carlos Rodon and Max Fried, but the former will get the nod Monday despite Milwaukee sending out southpaw Tyler Alexander to start the game. Alexander is more of a long reliever who may only cover a few innings, so it's possible Carpenter only has to face him once before getting a chance to do some damage against a righty. The outfielder posted a .994 OPS against righties during the 2024 regular season but saw that figure fall to .408 in a small sample against lefties.
