Carpenter is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
It's a bit odd to see Carpenter absent against an opposing righty starter (Nick Pivetta), although Pivetta has reverse splits this season with an .827 OPS allowed to righties and a .630 OPS allowed to lefties. Regardless, Colt Keith will take over as the designated hitter while Zach McKinstry starts at second, with Matt Vierling in right field and batting third.
