Carpenter is slated to start Saturday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was called up Friday after Blaine Hardy (elbow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Carpenter wasn't needed out of the bullpen for the series opener, so he's set to make his first major-league start since May 31 when he got the nod against the Angels.

Carpenter was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter will be available out of the bullpen for Friday's contest if needed, but he'll likely fill in for either Blaine Hardy (elbow) or Artie Lewicki (elbow), in the starting rotation. Carpenter has appeared in four games (three starts) for the Tigers in 2018, accruing a 6.39 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 12.2 innings.

Carpenter could be called upon by the Tigers to make a spot start against the Twins on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Artie Lewicki, originally scheduled to start Saturday, hit the disabled list with elbow inflammation Wednesday. Carpenter is the most obvious candidate to take his place as he's the only starter on the Tigers' 40-man roster in the minors, though the team could of course select the contract of another player or go with a bullpen day. He's scheduled to pitch Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo, which would leave him unavailable for Saturday, but if he ends up being scratched Wednesday that would strongly indicate that he'll be the choice for the spot start.

Carpenter (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Carpenter will head back to Triple-A with his rehab assignment completed. Per Woodberry, Carpenter is a definite option to rejoin the Tigers down the line should trades or injuries hit the major league rotation.

Carpenter (oblique) reported Friday to the Tigers' rookie-level Gulf Coast League to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter has yet to pitch in a game for the rookie-ball club, but it's expected he'll take the mound within the next few days. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since May 31 with a right oblique strain and is expected to require multiple starts in the minors before being activated from the 10-day DL. Unless the Tigers are dealing with an injury to any of their current rotation members when Carpenter is reinstated, he'll likely be optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Carpenter (oblique) was placed on the 10-day disabled list following Thursday's 6-2 victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

This move was expected after Carpenter exited Thursday's outing early with a right oblique strain. It's unclear how long he'll be on the shelf, as oblique injuries are often unpredictable. A corresponding move is scheduled to be made Friday.

Carpenter left Thursday's game against the Angels in the fifth inning after suffering an undisclosed injury, Jason Beck of MLB.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was putting together a solid outing before being forced to leave the game; it appeared to be a lower body injury, as he hobbled off the field. Carpenter tossed four innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out three, though he won't be eligible to pick up the win. More information on his status should surface in the near future.

Carpenter, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, will start Thursday against the Angels, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Carpenter will fill the rotation spot vacated by Francisco Liriano (hamstring), who landed on the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Even if Liriano is sidelined the minimum amount of time, he'll still miss two turns through the rotation, so Carpenter could take the hill for the Tigers again next week if he performs acceptably Thursday. Given that Carpenter has given up eight runs over 8.2 innings in his three appearances for Detroit this season and recently served up 14 hits in a three-inning appearance for Toledo on May 21, he'll be difficult to depend on even in AL-only settings.

Carpenter was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He will join the Tigers' starting rotation.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter has been summoned from Toledo to fill the opening in the team's starting rotation following Francisco Liriano's placement on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain. Carpenter, who owns an 8.31 over 8.2 big-league innings this season, will presumably make his next start Thursday against the Angels.

Carpenter was sent down to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the Tigers activated Leonys Martin (hamstring) from the DL. Carpenter recently made a spot start against Cleveland on Wednesday, taking the loss by allowing five earned runs off seven hits and one walk across five innings. He will return to the Mud Hens' rotation moving forward.
