Carpenter, 26, is dealing with lumbar spine inflammation. His IL designation is retroactive to Monday.
Carpenter is batting .283 with eight homers and 29 RBIs in 50 games in his third season with the Tigers. The 2019 19th-round draft pick is a career .275 hitter with 34 home runs and 103 RBIs through 199 games.
