The AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers have scratched right fielder Kerry Carpenter from the lineup against the Chicago White Sox because of right hamstring tightness.

Detroit Tigers (40-22) designated hitter Kerry Carpenter is one of many reasons why his team has the best record in baseball. The 27-year-old is on pace for career-highs in homers (13) and RBI (27) through 57 games thus far,

In a 13-1 win, Kerry Carpenter became the first Tigers player to hit 3 homers in a game since Victor Martinez on June 16, 2016.
