Carpenter (oblique) took swings during batting practice Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Carpenter began taking infield practice last weekend, and Friday marks the first time the 38-year-old veteran has participated in batting practice. He remains without an official timeline for his activation, but he could head to the minors for a rehab assignment relatively soon if he's able to continue swinging without any issues.
