Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll exited Sunday’s game in Phoenix against the Toronto Blue Jays after four innings due to low back tightness.<\/p>\n
But manager Torey Lovullo had a positive update on Carroll’s status postgame, saying he expected the All-Star to be available for the D-backs’ next game Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Carroll, 25, appeared to grimace in pain while striking out in the third inning, and he used some time while playing right field in the fourth inning to stretch out his back.<\/p>\n
The Diamondbacks were trailing 10-1 when Carroll was removed. He was replaced in right field by Jorge Barrosa, who hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning as Arizona went on to lose 10-4.<\/p>\n
“I went over to Corbin, and he was fine,” Lovullo said. “He felt like he was in a good spot. I just said, look, I’m going to start to layer in guys to get him off the field.”<\/p>\n
Asked directly if Carroll would be available Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, Lovullo answered, “He’s already in the lineup, yeah. He’s starting in right field on Tuesday.”<\/p>\n
Carroll went 0-for-2 with the strikeout, lowering his batting average to .300 with a .390 on-base percentage and .600 slugging percentage. He has three home runs, 16 RBIs, six doubles and a major league-leading three triples in 20 games.<\/p>\n
Carroll missed two games in early April against the New York Mets due to tightness in his left hip flexor.<\/p>\n
He said after the game that his back issue might be related to the hip flexor tightness.<\/p>\n
“It was enough where in a game like that, I’m fine getting out of there,” Carroll said. “But in a closer game, I definitely would have stayed.”<\/p>\n
He said that he feels good and “could go play right now.”<\/p>\n
An All-Star in 2023 and 2025, Carroll was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Arizona selected him in the first round (16th overall) of the 2019 MLB Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll exited Sunday’s game in Phoenix against the Toronto Blue Jays after four innings…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2404],"tags":[146,22,4314,5,38,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-679716","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-diamondbacks","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-diamondbacks","10":"tag-arizonadiamondbacks","11":"tag-baseball","12":"tag-diamondbacks","13":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116436828151649710","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
