Sep 26, 2023
Tallies three hits in loss
Carroll went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Yankees on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll once again served as a catalyst out of the leadoff spot for Arizona, as he was the only player on the team with multiple hits in the contest. The rookie phenom came up with a big knock in the top of the eighth inning that plated the go-ahead run for his squad, but the Yankees stormed back with a trio of runs in the bottom of the frame to pull out the win. Carroll is riding a red-hot stretch as he tries to guide Arizona into the postseason. Over his past seven games, he's batting .424 (14-for-33) with a home run, five RBI, eight runs and four thefts.

Makes history in Wednesday's win
Carroll went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
He continues his march toward the NL Rookie of the Year Award, and Carroll's big afternoon Wednesday made him the first rookie in history with 25 homers and 50 steals in a year -- and only the second ever to do it by their age-22 season, with Houston's Cesar Cedeno in 1973 being the other. Carroll's putting an exclamation mark on his historic campaign by batting .329 (24-for-73) in September, and in addition to being third in the majors in stolen bases, he's sixth in runs with 109.

He's added a strong .281/.360/.503 slash line with 24 home runs, 72 RBI and 106 runs scored as the Diamondbacks main leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

Sep 10, 2023
Runs wild in Chicago
Carroll went 2-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Carroll scored the Diamondbacks' lone run in regulation when he singled, stole second and eventually came home on Gabriel Moreno's productive groundout in the fifth inning.

Swipes three bags
Carroll went 2-for-3 with three steals and one RBI in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Carroll drove in the game's only run with a diving liner in the eighth inning that initially looked to be caught by right fielder Seiya Suzuki.

He has now stolen eight consecutive bases over 17 games since last being caught on Aug. 19.
Sep 8, 2023

At leadoff after HBP scare
Carroll (wrist) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Thursday versus the Cubs.

The 23-year-old NL Rookie of the Year frontrunner has slashed .280/.362/.522 with 24 home runs and 41 stolen bases in 135 games this season with the Diamondbacks.
Sep 7, 2023
Could play Thursday
X-rays on Carroll's right wrist injury came back negative, and Arizona manager Torey Lovullo plans to play the outfielder Thursday, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was hit by a pitch on the wrist in the fourth inning but stayed in the game to run the bases before being replaced defensively in the fifth. Lovullo's comments came after the game, and whether or not Carroll is in the lineup for the series opener against the Cubs may depend on how the outfielder feels after an overnight.
Sep 6, 2023
Diagnosed with wrist contusion
Carroll was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion following his exit from Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Carroll got struck by pitches in two of his three plate appearances, and it was a fourth-inning Gavin Hollowell fastball to the wrist that ultimately knocked him out of the contest. He finished 0-for-1 with two runs scored and should be considered day-to-day leading into the Diamondbacks' upcoming four-game series against the Cubs, which begins Thursday night at Wrigley Field.
Sep 6, 2023
Exits after HBP on wrist
Carroll was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies after taking a pitch off his left wrist, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gavin Hollowell struck him with a 93.7 mph fastball in the bottom of the fourth inning. Carroll ran for himself and raced home on an RBI single from Alek Thomas, but he was replaced in the Diamondbacks' outfield before the top of the fifth. The 23-year-old NL Rookie of the Year frontrunner finished the day 0-for-1 with two HBPs and two runs scored. Consider him day-to-day while Arizona's medical staff evaluates the situation.

Aug 30, 2023
Accounts for only run in loss

ANALYSIS
Carroll notched his seventh multi-hit effort in his last 10 games. He's gone 15-for-33 (.455) with six extra-base hits in that span. The rookie outfielder is at a .281/.362/.522 slash line with 23 homers, 40 stolen bases, 65 RBI, 96 runs scored, 25 doubles and eight triples over 128 contests. Carroll has now hit seventh versus the last two left-handed pitchers he's faced, though it's unclear if that's a temporary or permanent change to his lineup placement after he had regularly batted second versus southpaws.
Aug 28, 2023
Piles up runs out of leadoff spot
Carroll went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Carroll served as the Diamondbacks' leadoff man for the final three contests of the four-game set with Cincinnati and excelled out of the table-setting spot, reaching base at a .692 clip while scoring six times and chipping in a pair of steals. The heavy favorite for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, Carroll is slashing .520/.594/.880 over his last eight games and has been the driving force of Arizona's recent resurgence in the NL's wild-card race.
Aug 26, 2023
Walks thrice, steals base
Carroll went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was a bit inconsistent earlier in the month, but he has five multi-hit efforts, three steals and five RBI over his last nine contests. His theft Friday was his 39th of the year, putting him one shy of being the third member of the 40-steal club this season.

Aug 25, 2023

ANALYSIS
Carroll provided the biggest hit of the contest, smacking a two-run shot to right field in the eighth inning to give Arizona a one-run lead. The rookie star had gone 27 games without a long ball coming into the contest, with 17 of his 23 hits during that span going for a single. Carroll has struggled through much of August but is suddenly coming on strong, slashing .529/.526/.765 with four runs, five RBI and a stolen base over his past five games.
Aug 23, 2023
Records steal in win
Carroll went 2-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has cooled off a bit in August, batting .243 (17-for-70) this month, though he's still picked up five steals this month. He's also collected just four extra-base hits this month. The rookie outfielder is at a .275/.354/.502 slash line with 21 home runs, 38 thefts, 61 RBI, 88 runs scored, 24 doubles and six triples over 122 contests this year.
Aug 21, 2023
Not in Monday's lineup
Carroll is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
The Diamondbacks did not play Sunday, so a day off the following day affords Carroll a couple days to rest up in advance of the stretch run.
Aug 20, 2023
Five hits in twin bill
Carroll went 5-for-9 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Padres.
ANALYSIS
The rookie was also caught stealing for only the fifth time this year in 42 attempts, but otherwise Carroll got the job done at the top of the order for the Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old has reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games and could be coming out of his second-half slump, but he's still showing signs of fatigue as he approaches the end of his first full season in the majors -- Carroll hasn't homered in 25 straight games, slashing .233/.320/.322 over that stretch with six RBI, eight steals and 15 runs.
Aug 16, 2023
Sitting amidst slump
Carroll is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado.
ANALYSIS
After posting an .898 OPS for the first fourth months of the season, Carroll brings a .533 OPS in August into Wednesday's proceedings. It's a day game after a night game and the Rockies are starting a lefty, providing an opportune time for the young start to regroup. Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Tommy Pham will start in the outfield for Arizona on Wednesday.
Aug 9, 2023
Jumps to leadoff spot
Carroll is batting leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has generally been hitting either second or third over the last few months, but the Diamondbacks will switch things up Wednesday as they try to snap a seven-game losing streak versus the Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Carroll, 22, carries a .938 OPS in 335 plate appearances against righties this year.
Aug 7, 2023
In lineup Sunday
Carroll went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was hit by a pitch on the right hand Saturday but stayed in the game, and x-rays confirmed the outfielder merely had a contusion. His productive day, which included his 36th steal, came after a stretch in which Carroll hit .125 (4-for-32) over the previous nine games.
Aug 6, 2023
Hit by pitch, stays in game
Carroll was hit by a pitch on the right hand during the first inning Saturday but remained in the game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. He finished the game 0-for-2 with a stolen base.
ANALYSIS
X-rays on the right hand came back negative, and Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said it was merely a contusion, adding that Carroll will play Sunday. Carroll was eventually removed from the game, but that was due to the blowout nature of the contest, which Minnesota won 12-1.
Aug 5, 2023
Slumping since July
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Carroll, like many other Diamondbacks, are mired in slump. Friday's double was his first extra-base hit in eight games, and the outfielder is batting .133 (4-for-30) during that stretch. The slump actually goes back further, as Carroll is hitting .232 since July 2. That was the same time frame when he was sat down twice in one week due to a shoulder issue. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo assured Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that Carroll is healthy and the issues faced now are the typical cat-and-mouse game between pitchers and hitters over the course of a season.
Aug 4, 2023
Moved to leadoff
Carroll batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Carroll batted leadoff for the first time this season, as Ketel Marte was held out of the starting lineup. It was a tweak to an offense that has struggled to score of late -- just 15 runs over the last seven games. Carroll did his part by getting on base twice and reaching scoring position following his stolen base, but the Diamondbacks extended their scoreless streak to 17 innings. The steal was Carroll's fifth in the last eight games and 34th of the season.
Aug 1, 2023
Keeps running Monday
Carroll went 1-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has logged a steal in four of his last five games, giving him 33 thefts on the year. He had gone four contests without an RBI entering Monday before plating the Diamondbacks' opening run in the sixth inning. The outfielder is slashing .281/.360/.538 with 21 home runs, 58 RBI, 77 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples over 102 contests.
Jul 30, 2023
Ignites rally
Carroll went 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Seattle reliever Andres Munoz walked Carroll to lead off the eighth inning, then balked him to second base before Carroll swiped third. That put him in position to come home on Dominic Canzone's single through a drawn-in infield. It was the 32nd steal of the season for Carroll, who's registered thefts in three consecutive games.
Jul 26, 2023
Delivers key hit off bench
Carroll went 1-for-1 with two RBI in Monday's 3-1 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Carroll, who was not in the starting lineup, entered the game as a pinch hitter and delivered a two-run triple that capped the Diamondbacks' three-run eighth inning. It was the fourth consecutive game with an RBI for Carroll, who's driven in nine runs over the last eight contests.
Jul 25, 2023
Gets breather Tuesday
Carroll is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Carroll went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Diamondbacks' series-opening loss to the Cardinals on Monday and will take a seat Tuesday with St. Louis throwing left-hander Steven Matz. The left-handed-hitting Carroll has a .653 OPS this year versus lefties, compared to a .982 OPS versus righties. Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy are starting across the outfield.
Jul 24, 2023
Homers in loss
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Carroll popped his 21st home run in the third inning, the third homer in the last four games. The rookie outfielder ranks eighth in MLB in slugging (.550) and seventh in OPS (.913).
Jul 21, 2023
Closes in on 20-30
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Carroll homered in the top of the eighth inning to increase the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-3 before the bullpen ceded four runs in the bottom half of the frame. A candidate for MLB Rookie of the Year, Carroll inched closer to a 20-30 campaign. The homer was his 19th and the steal his 29th.
Jul 19, 2023
Flashes speed in wild win
Carroll went 2-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 16-13 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The rookie's speed even came into play when he didn't get a hit -- after swinging at a wild pitch third strike in the second inning, Carroll wound up at third base after Sean Murphy's throw sailed wide of first baseman Matt Olson. Carroll's up to 28 steals on the season in 31 attempts, to go along with 18 homers, 50 RBI, 67 runs and a .900 OPS through 90 games.
Jul 9, 2023
Walks off Pirates
Carroll went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Carroll walked off the Pirates with a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning. He's played in both games since suffering a shoulder injury during Thursday's game that looked more serious than is turned out to be.
Jul 8, 2023
Plays role in win
Carroll went 2-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored and two steals in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Carroll didn't miss any time due to the shoulder issue that forced him to leave Thursday's game against the Mets. It looks like a fantasy crisis has been averted, but the shoulder -- the same one that was operated on two years ago -- has flared up twice in the last eight days.
Jul 7, 2023
In lineup after shoulder scare
Carroll (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting second Friday versus the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has exited two different games in the last eight days with right shoulder discomfort, including Thursday's series finale against the Mets, but an MRI taken Friday ruled out any structural damage and he's good to go for the Diamondbacks' final three-game set before the All-Star break. The 22-year-old budding star boasts a .290/.365/.559 slash line with 18 homers, 46 RBI, 24 steals and 61 runs scored through 83 games this season.
Jul 7, 2023
Positive initial news
The strength and stability in Carroll's shoulder is "fine" after he exited Thursday's game against the Mets, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll immediately left the game grabbing at his shoulder after a swing and miss in the seventh inning. He underwent surgery on the same shoulder two years ago and experienced discomfort in the area last week, so there was rightful concern. He's set to undergo imaging Friday, which should provide a more detailed diagnosis but the initial reports are positive.
Jul 6, 2023
Exits with apparent shoulder injury
Carroll exited Thursday's game against the Mets with an apparent shoulder injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was up to bat in the seventh inning and immediately exited the game after a swing and miss. He was reaching for his right shoulder, which bothered him roughly a week ago and was also surgically repaired two years ago. There's no further detail, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Carroll sit through at least the All-Star break.
Jul 5, 2023
Homers in Tuesday's return
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Mets.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old wasted little time in proving the shoulder issue that had kept him out of the starting lineup the last three games was behind him, as he took Max Scherzer deep for a solo shot in the first inning. Carroll is up to 18 homers, 24 steals, 46 RBI and 61 runs through 81 games in his first full MLB season to go along with a .292/.369/.567 slash line.
Jul 4, 2023
Returns to lineup Tuesday
Carroll (shoulder) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll appeared off the bench in Sunday's series finale versus the Angels, but this will be his first start since he suffered a minor right shoulder injury last Thursday. The 22-year-old budding star returns Tuesday to a .289/.365/.557 batting line with 17 home runs, 44 RBI, 24 stolen bases and 60 runs scored through 80 games.
Jul 3, 2023
Serves as PH Sunday
Carroll (shoulder) entered Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Angels in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and grounded out.
ANALYSIS
This was Carroll's first activity in a game after sustaining a shoulder injury last Thursday. He was held out of the starting lineup in the three subsequent games but had been taking batting practice. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic the outfielder will "most likely" return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Mets.
Jul 2, 2023
Remains out Sunday
Carroll (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Carroll will hit the bench for the third game in a row due to a sore right shoulder, though after completing a batting practice session Saturday without any reported discomfort, it's possible that he'll be available in a pinch-hitting capacity for the series finale. The injury to Carroll has opened up playing time in the outfield for Dominic Fletcher, who has now started in all three games of the series.
Jul 2, 2023
Takes BP Saturday
Carroll (shoulder) took batting practice on the field prior to Saturday's game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll, who was removed from Thursday's game with soreness in his right shoulder, remained out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was unsure when Carroll might be able to play, but the manager was encouraged by the outfielder's progress. "The swings that I saw him take - not having a lot of conversation with him - were good," Lovullo said. "He was testing it and everything felt as good as it possibly good." Dominic Fletcher replaced him in the starting lineup Friday and Saturday.
Jul 1, 2023
Remains out Saturday
Carroll (shoulder) is not starting Saturday against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Carroll will miss his second consecutive game due to right shoulder soreness. The club has downplayed the issue, so it's likely that he's sitting out of precaution. Dominic Fletcher is starting in center field while hitting ninth and has seen his playing time tick up in Carroll's absence.
Jun 30, 2023
Sitting Friday
Carroll (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Carroll will be forced to miss Friday's contest after exiting Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rays early with right shoulder soreness. Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that there's "minimal concern" for Carroll moving forward, so he'll remain day-to-day for the time being. Dominic Fletcher was called up from Triple-A Reno and will start in left field while batting sixth against Los Angeles.
Jun 29, 2023
Minimal concern with shoulder
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said there is only "minimal" concern about Carroll's sore right shoulder, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
The dynamic 22-year-old outfielder was removed from Thursday's game against the Rays after experiencing discomfort in his right shoulder during a third-inning at-bat. Carroll required surgery on that same shoulder in 2021 to repair a labrum tear and posterior capsule damage, but he's not even scheduled for any imaging tests this time around. He's listed as day-to-day leading into the Diamondbacks' three-game weekend series versus Angels.
Jun 29, 2023
Pulled due to sore shoulder
Carroll is being evaluated for right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
That shoulder soreness is what prompted his early exit from Thursday's game against the Rays. Carroll looked uncomfortable during an at-bat in the bottom of the third inning and was replaced by Jake McCarthy leading into the top of the fifth. He can be considered day-to-day until the Diamondbacks provide further information about the issue.
Jun 29, 2023
Leaves with apparent injury
Carroll was removed from Thursday's game against the Rays due to an apparent injury, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll could be seen shaking out his right shoulder/neck area during an at-bat in the bottom of the third inning and Jake McCarthy ultimately replaced him in right field to begin the top of the fifth. There should be an update soon from Arizona's Chase Field, where the Diamondbacks were trailing 6-0 at the time of Carroll's departure. He finished the day 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
Jun 29, 2023
Records steal in loss

ANALYSIS
Carroll logged his steal in the eighth inning, but was ultimately left on base. He's gone 6-for-30 (.200) over his last seven games, but he's still managed five steals in that span. The rookie outfielder is 24-for-26 on the basepaths this season while maintaining a .292/.369/.563 slash line over 78 contests. He's a near-everyday presence in the No. 3 spot in the order.
Jun 28, 2023
Makes early impact
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
The Diamondbacks had all they needed after the first inning, with Carroll's blast being the big hit. He had a quiet stretch last week, going 5-for-30 (.167) with three RBI across seven contests. The standout rookie outfielder is up to 17 homers, 44 RBI, 60 runs scored, 23 stolen bases and a .293/.370/.568 slash line through 77 games after Tuesday's strong performance.
Jun 24, 2023

Jun 22, 2023
Reaches 20 steals
Carroll went 0-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Carroll's bat was quiet for the first time in six games, but his legs were productive. He stole second and third base in the seventh inning but was stranded there. The thefts were his 20th and 21st for the season, He hit is 16th home run Monday, and a 20-20 season is a near certainty.

Goes deep in win
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Monday's 9-1 rout of Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Carroll put the icing on the cake of a big Arizona victory with his solo shot in the ninth inning. The long ball was his second in three games and his 16th overall this season. Carroll continues to stake his claim as one of the game's most electric players. He and Ronald Acuna are the only major-leaguers who have tallied at least 15 homers and 15 thefts so far this season.
Jun 18, 2023
Pops 15th homer
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Carroll had one of Arizona's three long balls in the eighth inning. The talented outfielder is having an excellent June -- he's gone deep six times while batting .362 (21-for-58) through 15 games this month. Overall, he's slashing an excellent .307/.389/.593 with 15 homers, 38 RBI, 52 runs scored and 19 stolen bases through 68 contests. Saturday marked his 100th major-league game.
Jun 14, 2023
Getting Wednesday off
Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Carroll will put his National League MVP and Rookie of the Year Award bids on hold for the night, as manager Torey Lovullo gives the youngster a well-deserved respite following a string of 29 consecutive starts. Arizona will roll out an outfield of Lourdes Gurriel, Jake McCarthy and Pavin Smith from left to right while Carroll gets a breather.
Jun 14, 2023
Homers in loss
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 15-3 loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
By the time Carroll homered in the eighth inning, Philadelphia was leading 11-2. It was the outfielder's team-leading 15th home run and fifth in the last eight games, during which he's batted .500 (16-for-32) with 10 extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 14 runs.
Jun 11, 2023
Three more hits, steal in win
Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll filled up the box score again Sunday, coming a homer shy of the cycle while fueling Arizona's comeback victory. The star rookie has been on a tear, batting .500 (13-for-26) over his last six games with eight extra-base hits, including four homers, in that span. Carroll's now slashing an eye-popping .308/.389/.579 with 13 homers, 33 RBI and 47 runs scored while going 19-for-21 on stolen base attempts.
Jun 10, 2023
Five RBI, two runs in win
Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, solo home run and grand slam in Friday's 11-6 win over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll continues to tear the cover off the ball, notching his first career grand slam and multi-homer game Friday. The 22-year-old has multiple hits in three of his last four games, totaling six extra-base knocks and eight RBI during that stretch. Overall, Carroll is slashing .307/.391/.575 with 13 home runs, 32 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 45 runs, making him the early favorite for NL Rookie of the Year honors.
Jun 8, 2023
Paces offense in win
Carroll batted second and went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Carroll usually hits sixth against left-handers, but Arizona manager Torey Lovullo moved him up to second, the third time this season he's hit that high in the order. The move worked, as he paced the Diamondbacks' 15-hit attack and launched his fourth home run over the last 10 games, during which he's posted a 1.228 OPS. It's unclear if the two-hole against lefties will become the norm, but it doesn't matter where he slots into the order. An early candidate for Rookie of the Year, Carroll's .928 OPS ranks ninth in MLB.
Jun 4, 2023
Drills 10th homer
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Carroll knocked a solo shot as part of Arizona's three-run third frame. The star rookie boosted his slash line to .286/.373/.523 with 10 home runs, 16 steals and 38 runs scored. He's hitting .326 with eight extra-base knocks over his last 12 contests.
Jun 2, 2023
Walks off Rockies
Carroll went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning, Colorado right-hander Pierce Johnson opted to pitch to the lefty Carroll rather than face righty Christian Walker. Carroll managed to make contact on a fastball outside the zone for two-run, walkoff single and completed the Diamondbacks' comeback. He's on a productive five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-19 with two home, runs seven RBI and four runs.
May 31, 2023
Homers, steal twice in win
Carroll went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, two steals and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Caroll first reached in the fourth after a leadoff walk and stole second and third before crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly. It was the fifth time this year he's stolen multiple bases in a game and now sits by himself in fifth with 16 steals. The 22-year-old also went long for the second time in three games after roping a solo shot to right off Kyle Freeland in the sixth. Caroll is slashing .346/.393/.692 with a 1.085 OPS over his last seven games but was still moved down to sixth in the batting order with a lefty on the mound Tuesday, which has been his most common spot in the lineup against a southpaw. It's unclear whether manager Torey Lovullo has any plans to move him up in the order against left-handers, but he's certainly proved himself thus far, slashing .309/.356/.455 over 60 plate appearances versus lefties this season.
May 29, 2023
Homers early in win
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Carroll jumped on a Tanner Houck fastball on the outside part of the plate and drove it 106.2 mph into the left field stand to give Arizona a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The home run was Carroll's eighth and third in the last 10 games. The outfielder has delivered a .503 slugging percentage over 173 at-bats, similar to the .500 mark he had in 104 at-bats as a rookie in 2022.
May 24, 2023
Enjoying the road
Carroll went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Carroll delivered the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth inning to setup Arizona's fourth straight win. After returning from injury and finishing out a homestand on a 2-for-22 stretch, Carroll's bat came alive during the Diamondbacks' current road trip. The outfielder is 9-for-27 (.333) with five extra-base hits, eight walks, six RBI, three steals and six runs over eight games.
May 21, 2023
Homer, two steals in win
Carroll went 1-for-2 with a home run, an RBI, three runs scored and two steals in Sunday's victory over Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Carroll opened the scoring in the first inning with a home run off Roansy Contreras, his seventh of the year, to give Arizona an early 1-0 lead. Carroll would reach safely in four of his next five at-bats, also swiping his 12th and 13th bases of the season. The rookie outfielder has gone 6-for-18 in his last six games, with a double and two homers in that span. Carroll's now slashing an impressive .284/.382/.507 with 16 RBI and 30 runs scored through 174 plate appearances.
May 21, 2023
Steals base in win
Carroll went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Carroll's speed was on display Saturday. His two-out infield single produced Arizona's second run, and he later stole his 11th base of the season. The theft -- his first since returning from a knee injury -- leaves him tied for 13th in MLB with Starling Marte.
May 17, 2023
Mashes sixth homer
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Carroll crushed a fastball 429 feet to give the Diamondbacks a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning. Carroll had a good series against Oakland pitching, as he reached base seven times in three games. The rookie is off to a great start with an .856 OPS, six homers and 10 stolen bases in 41 games.
May 12, 2023
Planned rest Thursday
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll's day off Thursday was planned and the outfielder is fine, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. "We targeted a certain portion of this return to have an off day," Lovullo said. "He's fine. He's in a good spot."
ANALYSIS
Carroll jammed his left knee into an outfield wall in Colorado on April 29, and the Diamondbacks have eased him back at a measured pace. He served as a DH upon his return to the lineup and was not used on consecutive days initially. This week, Carroll played three consecutive days as an outfielder before Thursday's rest day. He remains an instrumental part of the offense and is 5-for-22 (.227) with a double, a home run, two RBI, three walks and four runs scored since the injury.
May 11, 2023
Not in lineup Thursday
Carroll is not in the lineup Thursday against the Giants, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
ANALYSIS
Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Dominic Fletcher are starting left-to-right across the Diamondbacks' outfield versus the Giants and right-hander Alex Cobb. Carroll has slowed down a bit since jamming his left knee in late April, though he still holds a strong .294/.364/.513 overall batting line on the year.
May 9, 2023
Returns as fielder
Carroll started in center field and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was eased back into the lineup following a knee injury suffered more than a week ago. He served as a DH or pinch hitter and wasn't used on consecutive days. Monday marked Carroll's first appearance in the field and suggests he's ready for full-time duty going forward.
May 8, 2023
Another start at DH
Carroll served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-5 in Sunday's 9-8 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Carroll made his second start since coming back from a knee injury and both have been as the DH. He's yet to play the field or start in two consecutive games since returning, so it appears manager Torey Lovullo easing him back to a full-time role in the outfield.
May 7, 2023
Enters as pinch hitter
Carroll went 1-for-1 with a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
The Diamondbacks are easing Carroll back from a minor knee issue and held him out of Saturday's starting lineup after the outfielder served as the DH on Friday. He singled in a pinch hit at-bat for Evan Longoria in the eighth inning and finished the game as the DH. His ninth-inning walk set the stage for Pavin Smith's walkoff walk. Since injuring his left knee April 29, Carroll has made three appearances (one start) as a pinch hitter and designated hitter.
May 6, 2023
Back on bench
Carroll will sit Saturday against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Carroll missed three games earlier this week with a knee contusion but returned to going 1-for-3 with a homer and a walk Friday, albeit as a designated hitter. His off day Saturday is presumably related to the same injury, but the Diamondbacks haven't announced a setback, so it's likely that they simply want to ease him back into action. Evan Longoria will serve as the designated hitter Saturday, while Dominic Fletcher takes Carroll's usual spot in right field.
May 6, 2023
Homers in return
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Carroll, who returned to the starting lineup after dealing with a knee issue, launched his fifth homer of the season in the third inning, an opposite-field job that tied the game after the Nationals took an early lead. The home run extended Carroll's hitting streak to 10 games (14-for-32).
May 5, 2023
Returns to lineup Friday
Carroll (knee) is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Carroll will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter and bat out of the No. 3 spot versus the Nats and right-hander Josiah Gray. He appeared off the bench in Wednesday's series finale against the Rangers, but this will be Carroll's first start since he bruised his left knee Saturday against the Rockies.
May 4, 2023
Gets two ABs as pinch hitter
Carroll (knee) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and batted twice. He singled to start a five-run rally and struck out to end the inning.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was held out of the starting lineup after running in the outfield prior to the game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Coaches and trainers watched the running session, suggesting it was a test for his return. Manager Torey Lovullo opted to hold the outfielder out for one more game, but the manager gave him a soft return as a pinch hitter. With the Diamondbacks off Thursday, Carroll likely will be back as a starter Friday against the Nationals.
May 3, 2023
Held out again Wednesday
Carroll (knee) remains out of the Diamondbacks' lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
An MRI confirmed that Carroll's left knee injury is merely a bruise, but he remains sore and will get a little more rest. The Diamondbacks are off Thursday, so he'll try to be ready when the team begins a homestand Friday. With Carroll out, Dominic Fletcher is in right field Wednesday.
May 3, 2023
MRI confirms original diagnosis
An MRI on Carroll's left knee Monday ruled out any major structural issues, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
The results of the MRI confirms the original assessment of a left knee contusion. Carroll, who took batting practice Tuesday, has not played since sustaining the injury Saturday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the team is taking a conservative approach with the outfielder, who still feels "some soreness."
May 2, 2023
Absent again Tuesday
Carroll (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
It's the second straight absence for Carroll, who was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after crashing hard into the outfield wall Saturday versus the Rockies. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI during the Diamondbacks' team off day Monday. Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Dominic Fletcher will start across the outfield for Arizona on Tuesday night in Texas.
May 1, 2023
MRI scheduled
Carroll (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll suffered what's been described as a left knee contusion during Saturday's game and sat out Sunday. The Diamondbacks believe the injury is not serious but opted for further testing to make sure.
Apr 30, 2023
Out of lineup Sunday
Carroll (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies
ANALYSIS
Carroll was removed from Saturday's game after he collided with the left-field wall while chasing down a baseball. The outfielder is considered day-to-day, but he may be out of the lineup for a couple of days while he recovers. Lourdes Gurriel is getting the start in left field and hitting third while Pavin Smith is handling right field and batting sixth.
Apr 29, 2023
Diagnosed with left knee contusion
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that Carroll left Saturday's win over the Rockies with a left knee contusion and is considered day-to-day, Jesse Friedman of PHNX Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
"We dodged a bullet," Lovullo said. Carroll collided hard with the left-field fence while chasing down a double off the bat off Ryan McMahon, and he looked to be in significant pain before walking off the field. Carroll may miss Sunday's finale against the Rockies, but it does appear he's avoided a significant injury. Fantasy GMs can let out a sigh of relief.
Apr 29, 2023
Leaves after collision
Carroll left Saturday's game against the Rockies with an apparent injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll collided with the left-field wall while chasing after a double off the bat from Ryan McMahon and looked to be in serious pain. The outfielder was replaced by Lourdes Gurriel, but he was able to walk off the field in a bit of good news. It's likely Carroll will need to undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury.
Apr 26, 2023
Two thefts in loss
Carroll went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Carroll already has 10 stolen bases in 25 games, second in MLB behind only Atlanta's Ronald Acuna (13). It was the third time he's recorded multiple steals in a game. Carroll, who started the season in the bottom half of Arizona's order, has been entrenched at the third spot and thrived over the last seven games, going 11-for-27 (.407) with five walks, four steals and six runs scored. Ironically for a batter in the three hole, Carroll doesn't have an RBI during that stretch.
Apr 18, 2023
Getting day off Tuesday
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll is simply getting the night off Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
An incorrect initial lineup was sent out, raising concerns that Carroll had been scratched, but Lovullo explained later that this had always been a planned day of rest for the dynamic young outfielder. Alek Thomas is covering center field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Apr 18, 2023
Scratched from lineup Tuesday
Carroll was scratched from the lineup Tuesday at St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
There's no word yet on the reason for the change. Alek Thomas is now playing center field and batting ninth with left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the mound for the host Cardinals.
Apr 17, 2023
Delivers final blow in win
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Carroll delivered the final two runs off Miami ace Sandy Alcantara with a 414-foot shot to right-center. Prior to Carroll's blow, Pavin Smith and Christian Walker each had run-scoring hits, as Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters did much of the damage (6-for-12, four RBI, four runs). The home run was the fourth of the season for Carroll, who carries a four-game hit streak (7-for-16) into Monday's game at St. Louis.
Apr 15, 2023
Steals piling up
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Arizona managed only six hits in total on the night, and Carroll was the only Diamondback to record more than one. The rookie's 0:13 BB:K through 14 games is about the only black mark on the start of his first full MLB campaign -- Carroll's slashing .275/.288/.471 with three homers, six RBI, seven runs and six stolen bases, and he's one back of the major-league lead in the latter category.
Apr 13, 2023
Provides cushion
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Milwaukee made a seventh-inning charge, closing the deficit to 5-3, but Carroll got two runs back in the bottom of the frame. It was the third home run for Carroll, who has delivered six runs in 13 games
Apr 10, 2023
Receives Monday off
Carroll is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll ranks tied for second in the majors with five stolen bases, but unless he's used off the bench, he'll get the chance to rest his legs Monday for the first time all season. With Carroll sitting out, Lourdes Gurriel will step into a starting role in left field.
Apr 9, 2023
Swipes two more bags
Carroll went 1-for-4 with two runs and two stolen bases in a 12-8 victory versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll used his legs to help churn out a run in the third inning, reaching on a hit-by-pitch, stealing second and coming around to score on Gabriel Moreno's single. He later led off the fifth with a single, stole second again and scored on Alek Thomas' base hit to give Arizona a two-run lead. Carroll is already showing the fantasy-friendly skill set that makes him one of the most exciting young players in baseball, as he is tied for second in the majors with five steals and has swatted two homers through nine games.
Apr 8, 2023
Two hits, two RBI in win
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll drove in his first run with an infield single in the third. The rookie outfielder gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 lead with a homer to right center off Clayton Kershaw, and it's the second of the season for the 22-year-old. Over the first eight games Carroll has now driven in three runs with a .258/.258/.484 slash.
Apr 6, 2023
Batting fifth again Thursday
Carroll is batting fifth Thursday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
There had been some hope that Carroll would quickly take over the leadoff role for the Diamondbacks, but that has primarily been occupied by Josh Rojas, Ketel Marte and Kyle Lewis in the early going. Rojas is up there again Thursday with right-hander Dustin May on the mound for Los Angeles.
Apr 4, 2023
Three hits in loss
Carroll went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Monday's 5-4 loss against San Diego.
ANALYSIS
Carroll tied the game at 3 with a solo shot in the top of the seventh, marking his first homer of the season. The 2019 first-round pick made his MLB debut in 2022 and was solid in limited action, posting 27 hits (15 extra-base knocks), 14 RBI, eight walks and two stolen bases in 32 games (115 plate appearances).
Apr 3, 2023
Swipes three bags
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a run scored and three stolen bases in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll's speed played a part in both Arizona's runs. He stole second and third on consecutive pitches in the fifth inning before trotting home on Geraldo Perdomo's double. Then, after stealing second base with two outs in the ninth inning, Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman played deep behind the bag, a situation that prompted Jake McCarthy to lay down a drag bunt which produced the game-winning run. Carroll, like many others in the Diamondbacks' lineup, is off to a slow start at the plate (3-for-14, .214) through four games.
Mar 31, 2023
Batting fifth Friday
Carroll is starting in left field and batting fifth for the Diamondbacks in Friday's game versus the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
You could kind of understand the left-handed hitting Carroll in the seven spot versus southpaw Julio Urias, but moving up just two spots with righty Dustin May on the bump is disappointing. Carroll does seem like a good bet to move up eventually, but for the time being it's going to affect his counting stats.
Mar 30, 2023
Batting seventh in opener
Carroll is hitting seventh for the Diamondbacks in Thursday's series opener against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll should be the primary option at leadoff in Arizona as the 2023 season rolls along, but Kyle Lewis is getting the nod there Thursday with the division-rival Dodgers starting left-hander Julio Urias. Jake McCarthy is batting ninth.
Mar 11, 2023
Agrees to eight-year deal
Carroll and the Diamondbacks agreed to terms on an eight-year, $111 million deal Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has only played in 32 big-league games, and only 174 total games as a professional, but the Diamondbacks are already sure that they want him in town for a long time. The contract will keep Carroll in Arizona through 2030 (his age-29 season), with a $23 million club option for 2031.
Feb 21, 2023
Contract talks begin
The Diamondbacks are engaged in conversations with Carroll on a long-term contract, according to sources, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has just 38 days of MLB experience, but Arizona clearly sees him as a centerpiece. It is believed the organization is seeking to lock him beyond the six seasons of club control. In 32 MLB games in 2022, Carroll slashed .260/.330/.500 with four home runs, two triples, nine doubles, 14 RBI and two steals.
Oct 6, 2022
Goes deep during win
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Carroll hit the second of back-to-back home runs off righty reliever Trevor Gott to put the Diamondbacks ahead 4-2 in the ninth inning. The outfielder finished his rookie campaign on a down note, recording a .205 average over 39 at-bats during his final 12 games. Interestingly, the 22-year-old was drastically more productive on the road during 2022 with a 1.099 OPS over 62 plate appearances compared to a .540 OPS over 53 plate appearances in Arizona.
Oct 4, 2022
Heads to bench
Carroll is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
While Carroll has started against the last four lefties Arizona has faced, he will head to the bench in the second-to-last game of the season with southpaw Eric Lauer on the hill for Milwaukee. Jordan Luplow is starting in left field and batting second.
Oct 2, 2022
Produces second steal
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Carroll produced 31 stolen bases across 93 minor-league games this season, but that hasn't translated into a green light on the basepaths in the majors. He swiped a bag in the second inning of Sunday's contest for his second steal in 29 big-league games. The 22-year-old top prospect has still shown promise in other ways, slashing .260/.330/.469 with three home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through his first 106 plate appearances, and he should be in line for an everyday role in 2023.
Sep 22, 2022
Sitting versus lefty
Carroll isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
After playing in nine games over the last eight days and delivering a key three-run double in Wednesday's win, Carroll will get a breather Thursday against southpaw Julio Urias. Stone Garrett will assume the starting role in left field and bat second in the order.
Sep 22, 2022
Keys win with three-run double
Carroll went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a 6-1 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Arizona held a slim two-run lead in the fourth inning when Carroll bashed a double with the bases loaded to plate three runs and break the game open. It was the second three-RBI game of his brief career, and the double extended his streak of contests with an extra-base hit to three. Over that stretch, he's gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, a triple, four RBI and a stolen base.
Sep 20, 2022
Not starting Game 2
Carroll is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll started in the matinee and went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a strikeout, but he'll take a seat for the nightcap with lefty Tyler Anderson pitching for Los Angeles. Stone Garrett will man left field and bat leadoff in the nightcap.
Sep 19, 2022
On bench Monday
Carroll isn't starting Monday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Carroll started the last three games and went 3-for-9 with a double and a strikeout. However, he'll get a breather while Jake McCarthy starts in left field and bats third.
Sep 15, 2022
Takes seat Thursday
Carroll isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Padres, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk during Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers, but he'll head to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Stone Garrett is starting in left field and leading off.
Sep 15, 2022
Swats third homer
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-inning win against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sat out each of the Diamondbacks' previous two games, but he was back in the lineup against righty Michael Grove on Wednesday. Carroll produced Arizona's second run with a solo shot to right field in the second inning. He's homered three times through his first 12 big-league contests, adding nine RBI and a healthy .279/.354/.558 slash line.
Sep 13, 2022
Misses second straight
Carroll is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Southpaw Clayton Kershaw will start the game on the mound for the Dodgers, so Carroll will miss his second straight game Tuesday in favor of the right-handed Jordan Luplow, who will play in left field and bat seventh.
Sep 12, 2022
Sits versus lefty
Carroll isn't in Monday's lineup against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The left-handed Carroll will retreat to the bench as the Dodgers will have fellow lefty Tyler Anderson start the game on the mound. Jordan Luplow will take over in left field for the young prospect and bat seventh.
Sep 10, 2022
Sitting Saturday
Carroll isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Carroll is in the midst of a three-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-10 with two solo home runs, a double, two walks and two strikeouts. Jake McCarthy will start in left field and bat third Saturday.
Sep 10, 2022
Homers again
Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 13-10 loss to the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Carroll led off Arizona's nine-run fifth inning with a solo shot, the first of two home runs hit during the inning. It was the rookie's second homer in as many games. Carroll has hit safely in seven of nine contests (.286/.342/.543) and knocked in eight runs thus far in his first exposure to MLB pitching.

Hits first big-league homer
Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Carroll went back-to-back with Daulton Varsho in the top of the second inning, giving Arizona a short-lived 2-0 lead. This was the first homer of Carroll's career, coming in his eighth big-league game. He's added seven RBI, six runs scored and three doubles while playing regularly at the corner outfield positions and designated hitter. The Diamondbacks have balanced playing time for Carroll, Stone Garrett, Jake McCarthy, Alek Thomas and Daulton Varsho as their primary outfielders, and all should continue to see occasional off days to prevent any of them from sitting on the bench too long.

Resting Monday
Carroll isn't starting Monday against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Carroll started the last four games, but manager Torey Lovullo and general manager Mike Hazen recently said that the 22-year-old won't be an everyday player over the final month of the regular season. Carroll will get a day off Monday while Stone Garrett starts in left field and bats seventh.

Will play, but not every day
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo and general manager Mike Hazen presented reasons why Carroll will not be an everyday player over the final month of the season, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lovullo said Carroll will play "a lot" but not "every day," because the prospect will need time off. Hazen noted that 2022 has been the longest of Carroll's career by far, indicating playing him "seven days a week is probably not realistic." Hazen has a point; the outfielder entered Thursday having played 95 games this season, well over his previous professional high of 42 in 2019. Other factors impacting Carroll's playing time is the crowd of players in the outfield that need playing time, and the hope of preserving his rookie status for 2023. If a team places a rookie on its Opening Day roster and he goes on to win the National League Rookie of the Year award, the club receives a draft pick, per the new collective bargaining agreement. Carroll must remain under 130 at-bats in 2022 to be classified as a rookie next season.

Steps out of starting nine
Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Despite getting off to a historic start to his big-league career with three hits, five RBI and four runs through his first two games, the lefty-hitting Carroll will take a seat with the Phillies bringing southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill for the series finale. Carroll won't necessarily be deployed exclusively as a strong-side platoon player moving forward, as he made his MLB debut Monday against Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez.
Aug 31, 2022
Records first multi-hit game
Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
It only took Carroll two games to earn a multi-hit effort. The top prospect has gone 3-for-10 with five RBI, two doubles and four runs scored through those two contests since earning his first big-league promotion. He's already showing enough with the bat to command a starting role, though he'll have to stay sharp to fend off the hot-hitting Jake McCarthy for playing time in left field.
Aug 30, 2022
Notches double in MLB debu
Carroll went 1-for-5 with a double, two runs and two RBI in a 13-7 win against Philadelphia on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll grounded out in his first big-league at-bat, but he reached on an error in his next plate appearance and doubled home two runs in his third. This certainly qualifies as a successful debut for the organization's top prospect after he slashed .307/.425/.610 with 24 homers and 31 stolen bases in the minors this season. Carroll should see ample opportunity down the stretch for an Arizona team that is essentially out of the playoff picture.
Aug 29, 2022
Hitting eighth in debut
Carroll will start in right field and hit eighth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Carroll was called up by the Diamondbacks on Monday afternoon, and he will jump right into the lineup and make his debut the same night. While Carroll will hit lower in the order to start, his .426 career OBP and his standing as perhaps the top prospect in all of baseball suggest he will not stay there for long.
Aug 29, 2022
Contract officially selected
Carroll's contract was selected from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll is one of the top prospects in baseball and will be available to make his big-league debut Monday against the Phillies. The 22-year-old consistently impressed in the minors after being drafted out of high school in 2019, and he slashed .287/.408/.535 with seven homers, 25 runs, 22 RBI and 11 steals over 33 games at Reno after being promoted in mid-July, and he should see regular playing time in Arizona's outfield over the final month of the 2022 season.
Aug 28, 2022
Call-up expected Monday
Carroll is expected to be called up from Triple-A Reno ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll has been on a tear in the minors this year, slashing .303/.422/.604 with 23 homers, 87 runs, 61 RBI and 31 stolen bases over 91 games between the Double-A and Triple-A clubs. The 22-year-old rose quickly through the Diamondbacks' farm system after being drafted out of high school in 2019, and he should have plenty of chances to carve out playing time -- and provide fantasy value -- over the final month of the regular season.
Aug 19, 2022
Promotion to MLB coming
Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said Thursday that Carroll will make his major-league debut before the end of the season, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll looks ready as evidenced by his .316/.430/.590 slash line in parts of three seasons, including a 1.047 OPS between Double-A and Triple-A this season. The general manager stressed he wants Carroll to stay in the majors once he arrives while noting his amount of practical experience is relatively low. "I would be hard pressed to go back and find a player who has probably climbed through the system as a high school kid in 130 games (and be) on the precipice of the big leagues," Hazen said. Carroll has just 625 plate appearances in the minors since being drafted out of high school.

Producing at Triple-A
Carroll went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
the home run was Carroll's third in 10 games since being promoted to Reno. He hasn't slowed down at all since his promotion from Double-A Amarillo, batting .278 (10-for-36) with six extra-base hits, eight RBI, 13 runs, five stolen bases and 11 walks. Arizona's starting outfield in 2023 is shaping up to be a trio of young prospects, featuring Carroll, Alek Thomas and Daulton Varsho.

Advances to Triple-A
Carroll (illness) was promoted to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll appeared in a pair of rehab games on his way back from the COVID-19 injured list, but he'll head to Reno rather than Double-A Amarillo now that he's ready to go. The 21-year-old center fielder is one of the top prospects in baseball and has performed like one so far this season, hitting .313/.430/.643 in 58 Double-A games while adding 16 homers and 20 steals. Judging by talent alone, it's not hard to make the case that Carroll already deserves a spot on the Diamondbacks' major-league roster, but the team is nowhere near the playoff hunt and may wait to start his clock until next season.

Moves up MLB ranks
Carroll (undisclosed) moved up MLB's Top 100 Prospect list from 13th to third, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll, who is currently on the Double-A Amarillo's COVID-19 related injury list and hasn't played since June 24, is hitting .313/.430/.643 with 16 home runs and 20 steals over 58 games for the SodPoodles. The outfielder has also been selected to participate in the 2022 All-Star Futures Game. A potential five-tool player, Carroll has blossomed in his first full season in the minors, although he's exhibited dramatic home/road splits in the Texas League. The 21-year-old has a 1.248 OPS (.769 slugging) at home and an .887 OPS (.509 slugging) on the road.

Details on IL designation
Carroll was placed on Double-A Amarillo's COVID-19 related injured list Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
News about Carroll's placement on the IL came to light Wednesday but details were sketchy. The outfielder had been away from the team to undergo dental work but wound up testing positive, which delayed the procedure, according to Arizona farm director Jesse Barfield. It's uncertain when Carroll can return or the exact nature of the dental procedure which could extend recovery time.

Injured, won't skip Triple-A
Carroll, who is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Amarillo with an undisclosed injury, won't skip over Triple-A on his way to the majors, according to assistant general manager Amiel Sawdaye, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no public news for why Carroll is on the injured list, but this interview seems to rule out the possibility that Carroll could pull a Michael Harris and bypass Triple-A on his way to the majors. He is hitting .313/.430/.643 with 16 home runs and 20 steals in 58 games at Double-A.

Extends multiple streaks
Carroll went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI for Double-A Amarillo on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Carroll hasn't slowed down since beginning the season with a seven-game hit streak. On Thursday, his fourth-inning RBI single extended a hitting streak to seven games and an on-base streak to 21. Two innings later, a three-run homer stretched a mutli-hit streak to three contests. The highly regarded outfield prospect is slashing .331/.459/.717 over 159 plate appearances during in his introductory season at the Double-A level.

Raking at Amarillo
Carroll is sporting a 1.126 OPS with four home runs, nine RBI, five steals and 11 walks for Double-A Amarillo.
ANALYSIS
Carroll is one of two Arizona prospects -- Jordan Lawler the other -- that are coming off significant shoulder injuries. It hasn't taken the 21-year-old long to return to form, as the lefty-swinging outfielder has hit safely in 11 of 15 games. While Amarillo is known as a hitter-friendly environment, Carroll's OPS is nearly 300 points higher than the team's. Given that he lost a year to the pandemic and nearly a full year to injury, the 2019 first-round draft pick's performance is impressive and raises the question of how long will it take for a promotion.

Generating buzz, going to Double-A
Carroll will open the year at Double-A Amarillo, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He only played seven games at High-A last year before suffering a season-ending right shoulder injury, but Carroll looked so good this spring that he's going straight to Double-A to open the year. Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reported last week that Carroll is already big-league ready, according to one AL scout, but there's no reason to expect the Diamondbacks to rush him to the majors this year. He could enter next year as the game's top prospect and on the big-league roster.

Adjusts swing
Carroll made changes to his swing mechanics after injuring his right shoulder during an at-bat last May, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll sustained a posterior capsular avulsion and a labrum tear in his right (non-throwing) shoulder while hitting a home run last May and did not play for the rest of the season. The injury happened on the follow-through of his swing, which at the time featured the release of his left hand. He worked during the offseason to switch from a one-handed to two-handed follow-through. "I love it," Carroll said. "I think it forces my direction to be better. And so even if I do go back to a one-handed swing, I think I'll be better for it. But I'm just noticing, you know, I think maybe even [being] a little bit more balanced in the swing, as well." It's a change similar to the one Fernando Tatis Jr. made last year after experiencing issues with his left shoulder during the follow-through of one his swings.

Fully cleared for camp
Carroll (shoulder) is fully cleared for the start of spring training, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll appeared in only seven games with High-A Hillsboro last year before requiring season-ending shoulder surgery, but he'll enter camp for 2022 fully healthy. The 21-year-old outfield is Arizona's top prospect and is likely to return to Hillsboro this season given his limited activity in 2021.

Out for season
Carroll is undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carroll reportedly injured his shoulder on a swing that resulted in a home run. He had gotten off to a strong start for High-A Hillsboro but will now have his season derailed. Nevertheless, there is still plenty of promise for a long big-league career, as Carroll will still be only 21 to open the 2022 campaign.
