Kerry Carpenter To Make Spring Debut Tuesday
9 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) is on track to play in his first Grapefruit League game on Tuesday since suffering a hamstring strain. Carpenter has been ramping up his running progression in camp and now feels good enough to return to spring training action. As long as the 26-year-old doesn't suffer a setback with his hammy, he should be good to go for Opening Day on March 28. Carpenter's big 2023 season with the Tigers means that he's expected to be a regular lineup addition in 2024. The left-handed-hitting outfielder batted .278 (116-for-418) with 20 homers, 64 RBI, six stolen bases and 57 runs, but he also finished the season in a big slump and shouldn't be expected to improve in just his second full major-league season in 2024.
