The Detroit Tigers may have lost another key player, Kerry Carpenter, to right hamstring soreness during their 4-3 loss to the Royals, with more information on his status expected tomorrow. Carpenter’s injury adds to the team’s outfield woes, as he joins four other outfielders on the injured list, and his absence would remove a strong bat from the lineup, as he was hitting .315/.338/.562 with five homers in 2025. Meanwhile, the Royals’ Carlos Estevez secured a two-inning save, and White Sox rookie Chase Meidroth is dealing with right thumb inflammation, pending imaging results.
