Kerry Carpenter

DET Left Fielder #30

Kerry Carpenter crushed a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning on Wednesday, helping to propel the Tigers to a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Mariners.

The Tigers weren’t able to get anything done against Mariners’ starter Bryan Woo in this one, mustering just four singles over seven scoreless innings to start the game. Matt Vierling smacked a two-out double off of Yimi Garcia in the eighth though and Carpenter followed with a 385-foot (103.1-mph EV) two-run shot to right that tied the game. That makes three homers in two games for Carpenter since returning from the injured list on Tuesday. On the season, he’s slashing .292/.347/.623 with 11 homers and 34 RBI in 52 games.
Tyler Holton

DET Relief Pitcher #87

Tyler Holton picked up his fifth victory of the season on Wednesday, working a scoreless top half of the 10th inning against the Mariners.

Holton came on to face the heart of the Mariners’ lineup, and he responded by striking out Jorge Polanco and Randy Arozarena before getting Cal Raleigh on a fly ball to right field. He then became the beneficiary as the Tigers walked it off in the home half of the inning. The 28-year-old southpaw is having a terrific season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 53/13 K/BB ratio over 67 2/3 innings to go along with five wins and four saves. He’s also expected to open for the Tigers on Thursday.
Bryan Sammons

DET Starting Pitcher #62

Bryan Sammons pitched very well in a no-decision against the Mariners on Wednesday, giving up one run on two hits over his 5 2/3 innings of work.

Sammons punched out four batters on the evening while issuing a pair of walks. The unheralded 29-year-old hurler took over for Beau Brieske in the second inning and worked through the seventh — allowing just an RBI single to Jorge Polanco in the fifth inning. He got nine swings and misses on 74 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll carry a 3.38 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and a 13/4 K/BB ratio (18 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Cubs in Chicago.
Javier Baez

DET Shortstop #28

Javier Baez was scratched from the Tigers’ lineup on Wednesday due to right hip discomfort.

The injury doesn’t sound like anything overly serious, but you never know with Baez. For the time being, the 31-year-old shortstop should be considered day-to-day. Zach McKinstry will cover shortstop for him on Wednesday with Justin-Henry Malloy entering the lineup to play left field.
Javier Baez

DET Shortstop #28

Javier Baez was scratched from the Tigers’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Mariners.

No word yet on the reason for the late scratch, but Baez was in the team’s initial lineup and then pulled in a revised version a couple of hours later. Zach McKinstry will slide over to play shortstop while Justin-Henry Malloy enters the lineup in left field and will bat seventh against Bryan Woo and the Mariners on Wednesday evening at Comerica Park.
Spencer Torkelson

DET First Baseman #20

Spencer Torkelson hit his fifth homer in his last 14 games for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Torkelson might be moving closer to earning another shot with the Tigers. He’s still striking out too much, but with an OPS over 1.000 during the last three weeks, he’s up to .248/.365/.456 for Toledo, and it’s not like Bligh Madris has established himself at first base in Detroit.
Jackson Jobe

DET Starting Pitcher #78

Tigers RHP prospect Jackson Jobe fired six shutout innings on Tuesday for Double-A Erie.

Jobe notched only two strikeouts, but scattered three hits over six stellar frames. The hard-throwing 22-year-old right-hander, who holds a pristine 2.01 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 58/28 K/BB ratio across 53 2/3 innings (12 starts) this season at the Double-A level is right up there with Phillies phenom Andrew Painter as the clear-cut top pitching prospects for fantasy purposes heading into next season.
Jake Rogers

DET Catcher #34

Jake Rogers had a grand slam, two doubles and seven RBI as the Tigers crushed the Mariners 15-1 on Tuesday.

The slam off George Kirby was Rogers’ fourth in just 26 plate appearances with the bases loaded in his career. It’s the first seven-RBI game for a Tiger since, you guessed it, Ryan Raburn knocked in seven against the White Sox on July 25, 2007 and the first seven-RBI game for a catcher since the Rockies’ Elias Díaz had that many on Sept. 9, 2022. Rogers had just 23 RBI in 70 games this season coming into this one.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

Tarik Skubal cruised to his 14th win after allowing one run in six innings Tuesday against the Mariners.

Skubal allowed three hits, walked one and struck out nine in his easiest victory of the year. He’s second in the majors with 180 strikeouts, one behind Dylan Cease.
Joey Wentz

DET Starting Pitcher #43

Joey Wentz pitched three hitless innings for his first career save in a 15-1 game against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Wentz has been mentioned as a DFA possibility on occasion in recent weeks, and one good outing in a blowout won’t help the cause overly much. A full-time reliever for the first time, he has a 5.22 ERA and a 55/26 K/BB in 50 innings, most of them coming in low-leverage situations.
