Kerry Carpenter Shut Down After Experiencing More Discomfort
5 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (back) experienced more discomfort in his back while completing his return-to-play progression and is now back to rest and rehab on a daily basis. Carpenter is attempting to return from a lumbar spine stress fracture and had resumed baseball activities on June 21. The 26-year-old wasn't going to be ready to return to the Tigers before the All-Star break in mid-July, but now he may not be ready to play in the big leagues again until well into the second half of the year. Carpenter was in the midst of a breakout season before landing on the injured list on May 29. The former 19th-round selection in 2019 was hitting .283 (41-for-145) with eight home runs and 29 RBI in 50 games in his third big-league season before landing on the shelf. Fantasy managers still stashing him may have to wait a while.
