Returns to field Carroll started in right field, batted leadoff, and went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's spring game against CIncinnati.

Impact Carroll returned to the field after missing the last few days. He had been set to return Friday, but that game was cancelled due to weather. He's mostly batted second during Cactus League competition, but with split-squad games Saturday, both he and Ketel Marte were atop the separate lineups. Marte has been the regular leadoff hitter when both players have been in a lineup.

Impact Lovullo noted that Wednesday had been the target date for Carroll to return to action, but the decision was made to push the outfielder back a bit so that they can be sure to put the back issue totally behind him. Carroll had to be removed from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rangers because of the injury.

Crushing it early Carroll went 2-or-4 with a home run, four RBI and two steals in Wednesday's spring game against the Brewers.

Impact Carroll smoked a gran slam as part of the Diamondbacks' six-run second inning. It was the second consecutive game with a home run for the outfielder. Carroll spoke about adjustments he made to his bat positioning during setup, which appear to have worked for him. He tinkered with that adjustment during the second half of 2024, when Carroll posted a .919 OPS, and continued to work on it during the offseason.

Adjusts bat position Carroll tweaked his bat positioning when setting up in the batters box, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact This was a tweak Carroll started during the second half of 2024, and he continued to work on it over the offseason. He previously kept the bat flat over his left shoulder before changing to a more upright position. "We talked about, I guess, shortening the path to the ball," manager Torey Lovullo said. "Creating better angles to certain pitches. It's not hindering his ability to hit the pitch as well as he's normally hitting, so he feels like that's a good starting spot for him." Carroll swatted his first spring home run Monday, turning on a high breaking ball.

Plays six innings in spring debut Carroll started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against Colorado.

Impact Carroll was part of a contingent of Diamondbacks regulars that made their Cactus League debuts Saturday. He'll land in right or center field, depending on whether Alek Thomas or Jake McCarthy wins a starting spot in the outfield. But where Carroll lands defensively is of less concern than his season-opening slump in 2024 that lingered through the first half (.635 OPS). He eventually turned it around in the second half, posting a .919 OPS and reestablishing the reputation earned in 2023 when Carroll won the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Who could break Juan Soto's $765M record? First look at future MLB free-agent classes

Corbin Carroll talks about the Diamondbacks post-season hopes “Obviously we would’ve liked to control our own fate. Sit back and see what happens tomorrow and be ready to go if we get in.”

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Double, steal in loss Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.

Impact Carroll had one of two hits for Arizona, which was unable to deliver a key hit with runners in scoring position. He doubled to lead off the sixth inning and moved to third on a double steal but was stranded there. Carroll has hit safely in five straight, going 6-for-19 with a double, home runs, three walks, two steals, two RBI and three runs scored.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homer, steal in loss Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

Impact Carroll has hit safely in four straight games, going 5-for-15 in that span. His homer Friday was his first extra-base hit since his two-homer game in Colorado on Sept. 18. The outfielder has played in a career-high 156 games this season, producing 22 homers, 33 steals, 74 RBI, 120 runs scored and a .232/.313/.430 slash line, results well off the marks he established in 2023. However, he has a manageable 19.1 percent strikeout rate, so most of his downturn in production can be attributed to poor luck.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, delivers run Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over San Francisco. He was also caught stealing.

Impact Carroll delivered a run on a sacrifice fly as part of Arizona's three-run second inning then trotted home on Pavin Smith's three-run home run in the eighth. Carroll had been scuffling prior to getting a day off Sunday and has bounced back with hits in three straight contests. The year started poorly for Carroll and lingered through much of the season, but a torrid August (1.042 OPS, 11 home runs) has re-established his bona fides as a threat. Through 155 games, the same amount he played in his Rookie of the Year season in 2023, Carroll has 21 homers, 14 triples, 73 RBI, 32 steals and 119 runs scored. His hitting profile didn't change much from last season, and it could be argued that any drop-off in 2024 was attributable to bad luck (.258 BABIP).
