2026 Fantasy Outlook

Carpenter remained a solid fantasy contributor in 2025, though his limitations against left-handed pitching continue to cap his overall value. The outfielder posted an .812 OPS with 23 home runs in 373 at-bats against righties last year compared to a .638 OPS and three long balls in only 60 at-bats versus southpaws. Since 2023, he's sporting an .868 OPS against righties and only a .607 OPS against lefties. Carpenter also doesn't offer much beyond his power, as he stole just a single base in 2025 and he has only seven across four MLB seasons. Carpenter is certainly a talented player, and he should once again occupy a prime lineup spot for the Tigers in 2026, but he will likely ride the bench frequently against same-handed pitching. Fantasy managers should target the 28-year-old for homers, though there are other outfielders with more even left/right splits who probably have higher ceilings. Read Past Outlooks
