Kerry Carpenter Injury: Plays field in second rehab game
Carpenter (hamstring) started in right field and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in his second rehab game with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Carpenter kicked off his rehab stint Tuesday by serving as the DH before taking the field the next night, playing seven innings in right before departing for a pinch hitter. Carpenter is expected to remain on assignment through the weekend, and the team will likely want to see him go a full nine innings in a corner outfield spot before he's activated. The 27-year-old was having another productive season for the Tigers before getting hurt in late June, posting a .779 OPS and 16 home runs through 78 games.
