Kerry Carpenter News: Activated, starting Sunday
The Tigers reinstated Carpenter (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in right field and bat third in the Tigers' series finale with the Blue Jays.
Infielder Trey Sweeney was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room on the 26-man active roster for Carpenter, who has been on the shelf since June 29 due to a right hamstring strain. Between the corner-outfield and designated-hitter spots, Carpenter should be a regular presence in the Detroit lineup against right-handed pitching.
