SEATTLE (AP) — New York Yankees designated hitter Matt Carpenter broke his left foot when he fouled off a pitch against the Seattle Mariners and will be out indefinitely. Carpenter fouled a slider from starter Logan Gilbert off the foot in the first inning. Carpenter was briefly checked by manager Aaron Boone, but finished the at-bat and struck out swinging. He was replaced by Tim Locastro in the third. Carpenter had been enjoying a comeback season at age 36. The three-time All-Star began the night batting .307 with 15 home runs and 37 RBIs in just 127 at-bats.
