Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Carpenter has a .176/.171/.382 slash line over 35 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, so the Tigers will limit his exposure to southpaws now that the roster is beginning to get healthier. Matt Vierling returned from the IL on Friday, while Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) won't be far behind him. With southpaw Logan Allen on the bump for Cleveland on Sunday, Justyn-Henry Malloy will replace Carpenter in the lineup, manning right field while batting sixth.
