Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter, who has 16 home runs and 32 RBIs, has a right hamstring strain and will not return from the IL until after the All-Star break.

The Detroit Tigers will place Kerry Carpenter on the injured list with hamstring tightness and call up left-handed hitter Trey Sweeney.

The Tigers will need to be hopeful to start the week, as their biggest and most reliable slugger finds out more about his lingering injury.
