Kerry Carpenter

Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk as part of his club's 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Carpenter was a one-man wrecking crew in this one, drawing a bases-loaded RBI walk in the first inning before clubbing a two-run homer to the visiting bullpen in right field in the fourth. After a cold start to the season, the left-handed slugger now has four home runs to go along with 12 RBI and a .773 OPS across 66 plate appearances on the season.

Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter launched a two-run home run to help his team to an 8-2 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Carpenter's sixth-inning, two-run homer was his third of the season and third over his last eight games after a slow start to the season. The 28-year-old set a career high with 26 home runs in the 2025 season, showing prestigious power against right-handed pitching. The downside to his fantasy potential is the fact that he will rarely face left-handed pitching, with the Tigers leading the MLB in pinch-hitting appearances in the 2025 season. Nonetheless, he holds solid value in deeper, 12-team leagues due to his impact on the strong side of the platoon.

Kerry Carpenter is not in the Tigers lineup on Tuesday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Carpenter will sit a second straight game due to an illness. Zach McKinstry is starting in right field for the Tigers.

Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter hit a two-run home run as part of his team's 5-3 defeat at the hands of the visiting Cardinals on Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact

Carpenter's third-inning, two-run homer staked the Tigers to a 2-0 lead, one they would be unable to keep in a tough loss on Sunday Night Baseball. That's home runs in two straight games for the left-handed-hitting Carpenter who didn't get a hit until the team's fourth game of the season. Given his track record of significant power, Carpenter still holds quality value in fantasy leagues, but he will still get parked on the bench against left-handed pitching.

Kerry Carpenter went 1-for-4 in the Tigers' 11-6 win over the Cardinals, belting a three-run home run.

Fantasy Impact

Carpenter has provided modest impact at the plate of late, recording hits in four of his last five games. The 28-year-old continues to possess a powerful bat while fighting through strikeout issues to begin the season, batting just .172 with one home run, two runs scored, and four RBI to go along with 14 strikeouts so far this season.
