Overview

• The Tigers placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list on July 1 to address recurring right hamstring tightness that has sidelined him intermittently since early June.
• Manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio that the team opted for a cautious approach given Carpenter’s second bout of mild hamstring sensations and the 12 games remaining before the break.
• Carpenter finished June slashing .224/.246/.567 with a .814 OPS and six home runs, including three in his last five games despite battling the tightness.
• Carpenter described the ongoing strain as “really annoying” but said he remained optimistic after similar symptoms cost him only one game earlier this season.
• Detroit recalled shortstop Trey Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo to fill the roster vacancy, highlighting the club’s roster-depth strategy.
