He could, however, make a comeback as early as the American League Division Series.

The 36-year-old veteran seemed nothing but a fly-on-the-wall roster move for the Yankees.However, the three-time All-Star had other plans and wanted to show everyone that he could still play at a Major League level. Matt Carpenter blasted a solo home run in just his second game back in the majors against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 27.Carpenter was electric during the months of June and July, as the slugger seemed to be hitting nothing but home runs. He batted .306 with four home runs in June and even improved in July to a .356 with nine home runs.Unfortunately, his hot streak came to an end in early August after he fouled a ball off his left foot that left him with a fracture. He hasn't played since.In 128 at-bats, Carpenter owns a slash line of .305/.412/1.139 with 15 home runs and 37 RBIs.
