Corbin Carroll Exits Game After Being Hit by a Pitch
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had to leave Wednesday’s game against Toronto in the eighth inning after being hit on his left hand by a pitch. Manager Torey Lovullo reported that the X-rays did not reveal any fracture. Carroll remained in the field to run the bases after being hit by a 91 mph sinker from rookie left-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl. However, he was replaced before the bottom of the eighth inning. Alek Thomas took Carroll’s place in the lineup, with Tim Tawa moving from center field to right field.Carroll’s situation for Thursday’s series finale was unclear.He was hit on the fleshy part of his hand, below the pinky, which resulted in a contusion. It’s a very dangerous place when you’re talking about that bone on the pinky side. He got a lot of meat, so we’re thankful for that.

Carroll hit a triple and scored Arizona’s only run. The National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 has a batting average of .255 with 20 home runs and 44 RBIs. The Diamondbacks catcher, Gabriel Moreno, was unavailable for the second consecutive game due to a right hand issue. Moreno, former Blue Jays prospect, was removed from the lineup on Tuesday after injuring his hand during batting practice.I wouldn’t be surprised if he tells me he wants to play tomorrow. We’re going to keep an open mind, we’re going to keep evaluating him tonight, overnight and in the morning, and see how he feels.

The defeat on Wednesday was Arizona’s third consecutive after winning the previous five games.We will continue to evaluate it day by day.

These are frustrating moments.
