Corbin Carroll to the Injured List: Diamondbacks Lose Their Star
After the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 10-0 victory against the Chicago White Sox, manager Torey Lovullo announced that star outfielder Corbin Carroll is suffering from a hairline fracture in his left wrist. Carroll, who will be placed on the injured list, was injured last Wednesday when he was hit by a Justin Bruihl pitch in Toronto. Although he remained in the game to run the bases, he was replaced before returning to the field.Lovullo added that he does not have a specific timeframe for how long his star will be out.“It’s still a little confusing for all of us,” Lovullo said of the injury, which wasn’t detected by X-rays the night Carroll was hit. “It’s on the back of his hand; the impact of the ball hit the side of his hand. This just shows how hard these guys throw”.

Known for his combination of speed and power, Carroll led the majors with nine triples and was tied for eighth with 20 home runs. He shows a batting average of .255 and has 44 RBIs and an OPS of .914. The 24-year-old player had a great breakout season in 2023, winning the National League Rookie of the Year award, being selected for the National League All-Star team, and finishing fifth in the Most Valuable Player voting. In 417 career games, Carroll has a batting line of .257/.340/.488 with 71 home runs, 35 triples, 201 RBIs, and 101 stolen bases. He led the National League in triples in 2023 and 2024. During Monday night’s game, third baseman Eugenio Suárez (fourth in the majors with 25 home runs) and first baseman Josh Naylor also left the game early: Suárez was hit on the right hand by a pitch in the first inning and Naylor left in the fourth with right shoulder discomfort. Both players are listed as day-to-day.“He will continue to seek some opinions to find out what that official diagnosis means and what the timeframe will be,” Lovullo said.
