CLEVELAND -- The Detroit Tigers are hoping slugger Kerry Carpenter can come off the bench in Saturday's decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Guardians despite dealing with a hamstring injury.

Carpenter was injured while running the bases in Game 4 on Thursday night.

The quick turnaround -- and MLB's decision to move the starting time up seven hours, citing a chance of inclement weather -- didn't give him much recovery time.
