Tigers' Kerry Carpenter sitting Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Glenn Otto and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Miguel Cabrera will replace Carpenter in the designated hitter role and bat fifth.

Miggy has a $2,100 salary and numberFire's models project him for 8.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers’ implied total (3.61) is No. 20 out of the 30 active teams today. The park factor in the contest is the second-strongest for hitters on Friday.
