2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 19th-round pick out of Virginia Tech in 2019, Carpenter bucked the odds by even reaching the majors. He continued to surprise in 2023 with 20 home runs, six steals and a 121 wRC+ in 459 plate appearances. The last of those 20 homers came Aug. 23 -- Carpenter went 34 games without a long ball to finish the season, slashing just .256/.313/.308 in that stretch. In addition to that disturbing trend, Carpenter managed just a .657 OPS against left-handed pitching for the season, leaving open the possibility for a strict platoon role. His overall body of work was impressive enough for Carpenter to project as a regular in Detroit between the corner outfield and DH, but it's understandable to still be skeptical, especially with the way last season ended for him. HIs home park does him no favors. Read Past Outlooks
On bench versus southpaw
Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
It ends a run of six straight starts for Carpenter, who went 7-for-23 with two doubles, a triple, a homer and five RBI during that stretch. Justyn-Henry Malloy will serve as the designated hitter against Baltimore lefty Cade Povich.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Tigers, in evaluation mode, called Carpenter up from Triple-A Toledo after the All-Star break. His strikeout rate more than doubled with the jump in levels (to 28.3%), but he totaled 11 extra-base hits -- including six homers -- in 113 plate appearances for a .485 SLG. Small sample warning: Carpenter was 26% better than league average by wRC+. As a 19th-round pick in 2019, Carpenter faced long odds to reach the majors. He's even on the fantasy radar now albeit primarily in deeper leagues as most managers will need to see more. The walk rate was low at 5.3% and his playing-time outlook will remain hazy until things play out in spring training. Carpenter wouldn't be completely out of place on a sleeper list, but with the plate skills he displayed in the majors last year, he could fizzle as quickly as he made the splash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excelling in platoon role
Carpenter has started against just one left-handed pitcher this season and has an overall slash line of .283/.342/.572 through 50 games.
ANALYSIS
Carpenter has just 18 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season and has gone 1-for-16 with a walk and three strikeouts. The 26-year-old has a 1.004 OPS against righties though, and he's built on a 2023 campaign that saw him club 20 homers with a .278/.340/.471 slash line. Carpenter may see a few more chances against southpaws as the season continues, but for now he's given fantasy managers plenty of production as an elite platoon bat.
