Corbin Carroll Returns to Action After Surgery
The Arizona Diamondbacks’ star outfielder, Corbin Carroll, made his spring training debut on Wednesday, after undergoing surgery to repair the hook of hamate in his right hand on February 12. The two-time All-Star and National League Rookie of the Year in 2023, had a faster-than-expected return. In the team’s 13-3 loss to the Athletics in Scottsdale, Arizona, Carroll hit a ground ball, a fly ball, and struck out, acting as a designated hitter.Carroll revealed that he used a bat with an axe handle against the Athletics to help deal with some discomfort.I felt good. Obviously, it’s not going to feel perfect, but it’s manageable and I’m trying to get through it the best I can and make sure I’m ready to play.

Carroll fractured his hamate bone during a live batting practice session on February 11, preventing him from participating in the World Baseball Classic, where he was scheduled to play in left field for the United States team. The injury, which has also affected New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor and Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday, typically requires four to six weeks of recovery.I’m not sure how long it will last, but it’s definitely less painful. So for now I’ll stick with it.
