Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter led off the bottom of the first inning with his third home run of the season -- each of which has come since joining the Yankees on May 26. While he's had a more powerful impact than anticipated, it is worth noting that the long balls are his only three hits across 16 at-bats. Carpenter is also likely to find playing more difficult to come by if Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) is activated Saturday as expected.
