Kerry Carpenter Logs A Hit In Spring Debut
9 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) notched a single in his spring training debut on Tuesday in a 3-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He also fell just a few feet shy of an opposite-field home run to deep left-center field. The 26-year-old has been slowed by a hamstring issue this spring but appears to be a full go moving forward. Carpenter was an under-the-radar breakout hitter in the 2023 season, as he hit .278 with 20 home runs, six stolen bases, and an .811 OPS across 118 games played. Through his first 149 career big-league games, Carpenter has hit .273 with 26 home runs, helping him to a 122 wRC+ that grades out 22% superior to the league average. He is a quality fantasy asset that should provide solid power and some speed on the basepaths.
