Carpenter is not in the Tigers' starting
lineup Thursday against the Angels.
ANALYSISWith the Angels sending southpaw
Yusei Kikuchi to the mound Thursday, the lefty bat of Carpenter will take a seat. Carpenter is coming off a three-game set in Houston in which he went 3-for-13 with two home runs. As the 27-year-old Carpenter takes a seat,
Riley Greene will serve as the designated hitter with
Justyn-Henry Malloy entering the outfield.
