Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Gets deal for 2026
Carpenter agreed to a one-year, $3.275 million contract with the Tigers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Carpenter didn't maintain the same efficiency in 2025 (.788 OPS) that he displayed during his injury-plagued 2024 campaign (.932), but he still managed to set a career high with 26 homers last year while driving in 62 runs and scoring 66. The 28-year-old outfielder holds value as a home-run threat against right-handed pitchers but is likely to ride the bench when matched up against most lefty starters.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Belts 26th home run Tuesday
Carpenter appeared as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.
Carpenter didn't get the start with Cleveland sending lefty Joey Cantillo to the mound, but the former still managed to have an impact. Appearing as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Detroit outfielder went deep to tie the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. Carpenter has been in a nice power groove recently with four long balls in his last 10 games, and he's already set a new career high with 26 home runs this season.

The 28-year-old slugger tied the game at 2-2 when he took Janson Junk deep in the third inning. Carpenter went through a bit of a power drought in the second half of August, but over his last eight games he's left the yard three times, giving him 25 homers on the season -- the first time in his career he's reached that milestone. During that eight-game stretch, Carpenter's batting .296 (8-for-27) with nine RBI.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Homers off bench Wednesday
Carpenter went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the Yankees.
Carpenter began the game on the bench with New York starting lefty Carlos Rodon, but the former entered the game in the seventh inning and made his mark late. The Detroit outfielder has gone deep twice in his last five games, and he's up to 24 home runs for the season. That's a new career high for Carpenter, and he's five RBI from tying his career high in that category, which is 64.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Idle against southpaw
Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
As per usual, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will take a seat while the Tigers face off against a lefty starter (Carlos Rodon) in Wednesday's tilt. With Carpenter on the bench, the Tigers will go with Jahmai Jones as their designated hitter.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Triples, drives in two Tuesday
Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees.
Carpenter's eighth-inning triple, his fifth of the season, helped truly break the game open by plating two runs and increasing Detroit's lead to 10-2. The outfielder isn't a huge speed threat with the five triples and just one stolen base this year in two attempts, but he has made his mark with 23 home runs and an .801 OPS across 114 games. Carpenter remains vulnerable versus left-handed pitching while he mashes against righties. He could find himself on the bench to begin Wednesday's contest with New York starting southpaw Carlos Rodon.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Goes yard in win
Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.
Carpenter delivered a key blast against New York reliever Ryan Helsley in the seventh inning, his 21st home run of the season against right-handed pitching among 23 long balls overall. The Detroit outfielder continues to hit the bench frequently when southpaws are on the hill, as he's sporting just a .575 OPS in those matchups. However, Carpenter is a big offensive threat when he has the platoon advantage and now has a robust .840 OPS versus righties.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Gets on base four times in loss
Carpenter went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and one run scored in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Athletics.
Carpenter has gone 4-for-30 (.133) over eight games since his last multi-hit effort. He was able to break out of the funk with the bat, though his performance didn't directly lead to much offense for the Tigers. The outfielder is up to a .264/.300/.524 slash line with 22 home runs, 50 RBI, 55 runs scored, 17 doubles, four triples and one stolen base over 103 games this season.
