Kerry Carpenter Returns on Thursday
Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Chicago White Sox, serving as the designated hitter and batting third against White Sox right-hander Sean Burke. Carpenter returns quickly to the lineup after being scratched from Wednesday's game with a right-hamstring injury that turned out to be minor. The 27-year-old appeared as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday and is now back in the starting nine as the DH. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups. The former 19th-round selection has been injury-prone and has played in over 100 games in one of his first three seasons, but he's been productive when on the field this year with a .272 average (56-for-206) with 13 homers, 27 RBI and 35 runs scored. He's hitless in just one career at-bat against Burke.
