Kerry Carpenter Hits IL With Plantar Fasciitis
The Tigers DH/OF is out at least through the trade deadline after a bruised heel diagnosis was upgraded to plantar fasciitis.
Detroit placed Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list before their game against Baltimore. He had been listed day-to-day for roughly a week with what the team initially called a bruised heel, but the diagnosis is now plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Carpenter will miss at least six games, including three against the Orioles, a Wild Card rival. His absence extends past next Monday's trade deadline, which could influence Detroit's buyer or seller posture.
