Carpenter (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 5 of the ALDS versus the Guardians.
A left hamstring injury forced Carpenter to make an early exit from Game 4. He's slated to go through a workout before Saturday's contest, after which the Tigers will make a decision on his availability to serve as a pinch hitter once southpaw Matthew Boyd exits the game. Justyn-Henry Malloy is set to serve as Detroit's DH while batting leadoff.
