Jun 30 2025Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll (wrist) will begin taking dry swings Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll is recovering from a chip fracture in his left wrist and will start swinging a bat for the first time since being placed on the IL on June 24. The outfielder won't be hitting a baseball, but it's still a notable step in his rehab. He shouldn't be expected back until after the All-Star break.
Jun 24 2025The Diamondbacks placed Carroll on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left wrist. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch last Wednesday, and while initial tests were negative, subsequent exams revealed the unfortunate news. The Diamondbacks have not offered a timetable for Carroll's return, but the outfielder seems like a good bet to remain out through the All-Star break. Jake McCarthy has been recalled to take Carroll's roster spot and could see starts in right field along with Randal Grichuk.
Jun 23 2025Carroll is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list after his MRI and CT results revealed a chip fracture in his left wrist, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The club is still seeking additional medical opinions on Carroll's injury, so a timetable for his return isn't available at this time. Randal Grichuk and Tim Tawa should be in line for more opportunities in right field while Carroll is on the mend.
Jun 22 2025Manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll (hand), who his out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Colorado, will undergo an MRI in Chicago on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder was apparently available to pinch hit Saturday while his bruised left hand continues to show improvement, but the Diamondbacks will exercise caution and send him for additional imaging Monday. Carroll is sitting for a fourth straight game Sunday and should be considered day-to-day heading into the series opener against the White Sox.
Jun 21 2025Carroll (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll will sit out a third consecutive game after taking a pitch off his hand Wednesday. Manager Torey Lovullo said before Friday's contest that the star outfielder is "very close" to returning, so a trip to the IL doesn't seem imminent, though that could change if he doesn't rejoin the starting nine soon. Randal Grichuk will start in right field Saturday and bat fifth.
Jun 20 2025Manager Torey Lovullo said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Carroll (hand) is expected to be out of the lineup Friday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The skipper also said that Carroll is "very close" to returning and could be convinced to insert the outfielder into the starting nine Friday, but for now he's not penciled in to start the series opener in Colorado. The 24-year-old was hit by a pitch on the left hand Wednesday, but he was diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays came back negative and should be back in action soon.
Jun 19 2025Carroll (hand) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll exited Wednesday's 8-1 loss after being struck on the left hand by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, and Carroll tried to talk his way into Thursday's lineup, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic, suggesting he has a good chance to return to action Friday in Colorado. Randal Grichuk will start in right field and bat seventh for the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Jun 18 2025X-rays on Carroll's left hand came back negative following his removal from Wednesday's game against Toronto afte getting hit by a pitch, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll took a 91-mph sinker off his hand during the eighth inning of Wednesday's loss, but it appears he escaped the incident without suffering any major damage. He may sit out Thursday's series finale if his soreness persists, though a trip to the injured list shouldn't be necessary.
Jun 13 2025Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has hit safely in five straight games, going 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers and two triples in that span. The outfielder was bothered by a tight hamstring last weekend, but it hasn't appeared to affect his performance at the plate since he rejoined the lineup Sunday. He's now at 20 homers on the year, and he's added a .260/.338/.582 slash line with 44 RBI, 55 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, eight triples and 12 doubles over 68 contests.
Jun 11 2025Carroll went 2-for-5 with two triples, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has been dealing with a tight hamstring, but one would never surmise that watching him run around the bases Tuesday. He has a league-leading eight triples through 66 games and is zeroing in on a third consecutive season of double-digit triples. Carroll ranks sixth in MLB in slugging (.581) and 10th in OPS (.921).
Jun 10 2025Carroll has been dealing with a tight hamstring but was in the Diamondbacks' lineup Monday and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk in a 8-4 win over the Mariners in 11 innings, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hamstring issue offers an explanation as to why Carroll was out of the lineup for consecutive games over the weekend against the Reds, although he did appear as a pinch hitter in one of those contests. While Carroll appears set to continue playing through the hamstring issue, it's possible he will be less aggressive on the basepaths. Carroll was unsuccessful in his lone stolen base attempt in June and has just one steal over his last 19 games.
Jun 9 2025Carroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll opened the scoring by leading off the bottom of the first inning with his homer. The outfielder has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers and six RBI over seven games in June, but he was on the bench for consecutive contests over the weekend in Cincinnati, likely in effort to get his bat going. He has just one multi-hit effort over his last 20 games, batting a meager .181 (13-for-72) despite his nine extra-base hits in that span. For the season, the outfielder is at a .258/.339/.569 slash line with 19 homers, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 65 contests.
Jun 7 2025Carroll is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Reds on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll will ride the pine for a consecutive game while Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Randal Grichuk man the outfield for the Snakes on Saturday. Carroll has gone 9-for-51 (.176) with one steal, three doubles, four home runs and seven RBI since May 20.
Jun 6 2025Carroll is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll will get the night off Friday after making three consecutive starts. Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Randal Grichuk will fill the outfield from left to right.
Jun 4 2025Carroll went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and three runs in Tuesday's 8-3 win against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll entered the contest in a 6-for-47 slump and hadn't produced a multi-hit game since May 16, but his bat came alive Tuesday with a solo homer in the fifth inning and a three-run blast in the ninth. The 25-year-old is already up to 18 homers this season and has a .262/.336/.578 slash line with 10 stolen bases, 39 RBI and 47 runs through 60 contests.
Jun 1 2025Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll is in the midst of a 3-for-31 slump and will head to the bench for just the third time all season. Randal Grichuk is starting in right field and batting sixth versus Washington lefty Mitchell Parker.
May 27 2025Carroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning, taking Mike Burrows' third pitch of the game out to right field. Prior to Tuesday, Carroll had gone 0-for-14 over his previous four contests. The outfielder's slump has him down to a .259/.329/.561 slash line on the year, but he's added 16 homers, 35 RBI, 42 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 55 games. Carroll is too talented to stay quiet for long, so expect him to get back on track sooner rather than later.
May 24 2025Carroll isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll isn't typically one to sit down against left-handed starters, but he'll be on the bench for Saturday's matchup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore. Lourdes Gurriel, Tim Tawa and Randal Grichuk will start across the outfield while Carroll rests.
May 20 2025Carroll went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll gave the Diamondbacks a two-run lead with his 10th-inning blast, but Shelby Miller couldn't make it stick. Over his last eight games, Carroll is 10-for-35 (.286) with four homers, six RBI and four stolen bases. The outfielder has reached the 15-homer mark for the season while adding 34 RBI, 40 runs scored, nine steals and a .277/.349/.597 slash line over 49 contests. He's on pace to shatter his career high of 25 long balls from 2023, and he's got the skills to add big numbers in many other areas.
May 17 2025Carroll went 1-for-5 with a walk, a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's speed led to a run in the first inning, as he walked to lead off the frame, stole second and scored on a Ketel Marte single. Carroll added another theft after hitting a run-scoring single in the fourth frame to give him his second multi-steal performance of the campaign. The star outfielder has notched at least one stolen base in three consecutive contests and has so far bounced back in a big way from a bit of a down season last year -- through 215 plate appearances, Carroll is slashing .285/.358/.601 with 14 home runs, 38 runs, 32 RBI and nine stolen bases.
May 16 2025Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has three multi-hit efforts over his last four games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with three homers and two steals in that span. The outfielder continues to put together an impressive bounce-back campaign after his struggles in 2024. He's now at a .287/.359/.612 slash line with 14 home runs, seven steals, 31 RBI, 37 runs scored, nine doubles and five triples across 45 contests while routinely batting first or second for the Diamondbacks.
May 12 2025Carroll went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Monday's 2-1 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's solo shots off Justin Verlander in the third and fifth innings ended up being all the Diamondbacks needed to get the win. With the two-homer game, Carroll is up to second in the National League with 13 long balls. He's clubbed four of those homers over his last eight games while going 8-for-28 (.286) in that span. That's just about in line with his .282 average for the season, which comes with a .965 OPS, 30 RBI, 33 runs scored and five stolen bases over 42 contests.
May 8 2025Carroll went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll led off the bottom of the eighth inning with his 11th home run of the season. Following an eight-game stretch during which he batted .147 without knocking in a run, Carroll is back to normal. The outfielder has hit safely in four consecutive contests, going 7-for-15 with two home runs, four walks and five RBI.
May 5 2025Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll provided some early pop, taking Griffin Canning's second pitch of the game over the fence. This was Carroll's 10th homer of the season, but it was his first since his two-homer game April 23 versus the Rays. The star outfielder has back-to-back multi-hit efforts but has 11 strikeouts over his last six contests. He's batting .287 with a .945 OPS, 27 RBI, 28 runs scored and five stolen bases over 35 contests as Arizona's primary leadoff hitter.
May 4 2025Carroll went 2-for-6 with three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win over Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll helped fuel early offense with a two-run single in the second inning and run-scoring single an inning later. The RBI were the first in nine games for Carroll, who entered Sunday on a 5-for-34 stretch. He ranks second on the team with 26 RBI.
Apr 19 2025Carroll went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He led off the game by driving the third pitch he saw from Ben Brown over the fence in straightaway center field to kick off his three-hit afternoon, but the rest of the Arizona lineup only accounted for one other knock. Carroll has hit safely in 12 straight games, batting .407 (22-for-54) during that stretch with four homers, four steals, 13 runs and 13 RBI.
Apr 17 2025Carroll went 1-for-5 with three stolen bases, two runs and an RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win against the Diamondbacks ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old extended his hit streak to 10 games with a fourth-inning single, but he provided most of his production Thursday in the opening frame as he stole second and third base after reaching via a dropped third strike. Carroll is batting .386 (17-for-44) with nine extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 12 runs during the streak, as he appears to have rediscovered his Rookie of the Year form from 2023 after underwhelming with a .750 OPS last season.
Apr 15 2025Carroll went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll opened the game's scoring with an RBI double during Arizona's four-run second inning. He capped off the team's 10-run outburst with a grand slam in the sixth inning. It was his sixth long ball of the year, all of which have come since April 1. Last season, Carroll did not hit his sixth home run until his 96th game. His 2025 slash line is up to .338/.423/.735 with 14 extra-base hits and 15 RBI through 17 contests.
Apr 13 2025Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks entered the bottom of ninth down 4-0, but they rallied for five runs to escape with a walk-off win. Carroll was in the middle of the rally with a two-run double, his team-leading 11th extra-base hit of the season. It's hard to remember Carroll's 2024 season-opening slump that lingered into the second half of the season. He's batting .322/.412/.695 with 10 RBI and 12 runs over 68 plate appearances.
Apr 9 2025Carroll went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll extended Arizona's lead to 2-0 in the third inning with a 413-foot blast off Dean Kremer, his fifth long ball of the year and his second in as many days. Carroll has been red hot at the plate recently, going 8-for-16 with five extra-base hits in his last four games. He's now slashing .320/.424/.740 with 11 runs scored and eight RBI through 13 contests this season.
Apr 6 2025Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll tripled to lead off the game and eventually scored then added a single and double. Seven of his 11 hits have gone for extra bases, and Carroll sports a .641 slugging percentage through 10 games.
Apr 4 2025Carroll went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and one walk in Friday's 6-4 win over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll had Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin's number Friday, taking him deep for a solo homer in the third inning and tagging the righty once again for a two-run blast in the second inning. Through 37 plate appearances in 2025, the speedy center fielder is slashing a healthy .258/.378/.613 with three long balls, two doubles, six RBI and six runs scored but has surprisingly not yet attempted a stolen base in eight contests.
Mar 30 2025Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old likely won't sit consistently against left-handed starters this season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday as southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the mound for Chicago. Carroll has gone 3-for-12 with a double and a walk in the first three games of the season. Randal Grichuk will take over in right field in the series finale.
Mar 29 2025Carroll batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 8-1 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll was moved to leadoff against a righty after batting second against lefty Justin Steele on Thursday. Carroll and Ketel Marte -- who batted leadoff Thursday -- are expected to serve at the top of the order for Arizona. Through two games, Carroll is 1-for-7 with a double, a walk and one strikeout.
Mar 17 2025Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's spring game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The blast was the fourth of the spring for Carroll, who is having a monster Cactus League. The outfielder is slashing .370/.433/1.285 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and two steals through 10 games. Given his productive finish to the second half of the 2024 regular season which has continued into spring training, Carroll's first-half slump of 2024 is looking like an aberration.
Mar 9 2025Carroll started in right field, batted leadoff, and went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's spring game against CIncinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll returned to the lineup 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 Carroll and Ketel Marte were atop the separate batting orders. Marte has been the regular leadoff hitter when both players have been in a lineup.
Mar 7 2025Carroll (back) is starting in right field and batting leadoff in Friday's Cactus League game against the Angels, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has been sidelined the past few days due to back tightness but is ready to return to spring games Friday. He's gone 6-for-15 with three homers and two stolen bases through five Cactus League games.
Mar 5 2025Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Carroll (back) is "very close" to being fully recovered and returning to games, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 3 2025Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Carroll (back) is considered day-to-day, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll had to be removed from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rangers due to back tightness. The outfielder said after the contest that he was unconcerned about the injury, and Lovullo's comments Monday confirm that it's considered minor. Carroll has been excellent so far this spring, going 6-for-12 with three home runs and a pair of stolen bases.
Mar 2 2025Carroll said that he isn't concerned about his back tightness that caused him to be removed from Sunday's spring game against Texas, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced by Jorge Barrosa in right field in the third inning. Carroll will not play against the Cubs on Monday, and with the Diamondbacks scheduled for an off-day Tuesday, he'll look to rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's bout against the Giants.
Feb 26 2025Carroll went 2-or-4 with a home run, four RBI and two steals in Wednesday's spring game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll smoked a grand slam as part of the Diamondbacks' six-run second inning. It was the second consecutive game with a home run for the outfielder. Carroll has spoken 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.
Feb 25 2025Carroll has tweaked his bat positioning when setting up in the batters box, Alex Weiner of 's Arizona Sports reports. He previously kept the bat flat over his left shoulder before changing to a more upright position. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll deployed the refined bat position Monday, when he turned on a high breaking ball for his first spring home run. This was a tweak Carroll started during the second half of 2024, and he continued to work on it over the offseason. "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." The new positioning worked for Carroll in the second half of 2024. After slumping in the first half (.635 OPS, five home runs), Carroll popped after the All-Star break (.919 OPS, 17 home runs),
Feb 23 2025Carroll started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 29 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll had one of two hits for Arizona, but the team couldn't deliver a knock with runners in scoring position in a game that could prove to be crucial for its wild-card chances. 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.
Sep 27 2024Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 26 2024Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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).
Sep 22 2024Carroll is receiving a scheduled day off Sunday against the Brewers, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks clarified that Carroll's absence is not injury-related, and that he and Christian Walker are simply resting up. Carroll has surged to a .259/.352/.585 slash line, 16 homers and 14 steals since the All-Star break after struggling to the tune of a .212/.301/.334 line in the first half.
Sep 21 2024Carroll went 0-for-2 with three walks, three stolen bases and a run against the Brewers in Saturday's 5-0 win. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three of Carroll's thefts came over the final three innings -- he swiped second and third base in the seventh frame and notched another steal in the ninth, advancing to third base on an error by Brewers catcher Eric Haase. It was the fifth time this season the speedy outfielder has notched multiple thefts in a contest. Carroll is up to 32 stolen bases on the campaign, a far cry from the 54 he tallied last year but still good enough to be tied for 10th-most in the majors.
Sep 18 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old took advantage of his final game of the year at Coors Field, launching a solo shot in the first inning and a two-run homer in the second, both off Austin Gomber. The long balls were Carroll's first of September, but he's mostly put his early-season struggles behind him -- over 43 games since the beginning of August, he's batting .282 with 13 home runs, nine steals, 31 RBI and 46 runs.
Sep 17 2024Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll tripled to lead off the game and trotted home on Ketel Marte's home run. It was Carroll's league-leading 14th triple. The run scored was his 112th, which ranks tied for fifth in MLB and is somewhat remarkable given the slump he endured during the first half of the season. Since the All-Star break, Carroll has a .944 OPS with 14 homers, eight triples, five doubles, 22 walks, 10 steals, 35 RBI and 52 runs scored over 52 games.
Sep 16 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a walk, two runs and a steal in Sunday's win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll singled and scored in the opening frame and then later walked, stole second and eventually scored once more in the eighth. That's now six steals this month for Carroll and six runs scored over the last five games, but he has only two RBI since Sept. 3. He's hitting just .232 but has scored 111 runs, which is currently the sixth-most in baseball.
Sep 10 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has cooled off since his 14-game hitting streak from Aug. 20 to Sept. 4. He's gone 2-for-20 over his last five contests. The outfielder has five steals over nine games in September and is up to 27 thefts on 33 attempts this year. He's slashing .229/.315/.420 with 19 home runs, 66 RBI, 106 runs scored, 20 doubles and 12 triples despite his struggles at the plate relative to last year.
Sep 5 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's win over San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll drew a leadoff walk to open the contest before eventually coming home on a Josh Bell single. The outfielder would then go on to reach again in two of his next four trips to the plate, adding two steals and an RBI single over that span as the Diamondbacks took their second straight win on the road. Carroll has now swiped two bags in back-to-back games, while he also extended his hitting streak to 14 games with Wednesday's single. Over that latter stretch he's batting .350 (20-for-57) with six homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs and five stolen bases.
Sep 4 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, two steals and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll extended his hit streak to 13 games and swiped multiple bases for the first time since July 12. He now has five multi-hit efforts over his last seven games and has continued a blistering stretch at the plate fresh off winning the NL Player of the Week and NL Player of the Month. For the year, the 24-year-old is now slashing .234/.317/.432 with 19 homers, 65 RBI, 104 runs, 24 steals and a 58:106 BB:K in 580 plate appearances.
Sep 3 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's white-hot bat continued Monday, as the outfielder extended a hit streak to 12 games. He's 17-for-48 (.354) with nine extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.
Sep 2 2024Carroll batted second and went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll had batted in the lower third of the order against lefties for the last couple of months, but he was moved up Sunday against Los Angeles southpaw Justin Wrobleski. Carroll, who extended a hit streak to 11 games, had his best month of the season in August, which suggests the promotion against lefties was more than a one-day deployment. He finished August with 11 home runs, 24 RBI, 30 runs and a 1.042 OPS over 28 contests.
Sep 1 2024Carroll went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll legged out an inside-the-park home run to lead off the bottom of the first inning, igniting a four-run inning that wiped out Los Angeles' early 3-0 lead. He later knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly. The homer extended Carroll's hit streak to 10 games, during which he's 13-for-39 with six home runs and 13 RBI. His average is up to .228, the highest its been since the middle of April.
Aug 30 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll extended his hitting streak to nine games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-36 (.333) with five homers and 11 RBI. The outfielder's steal was his first since Aug. 7. In August, Carroll is batting .278 (27-for-97) with 10 homers, 22 RBI, four triples and one double over 26 contests. It's an encouraging sign that he's getting back to the form that made him the NL Rookie of the Year in 2023. Overall, Carroll has a .227/.314/.422 slash line with 18 homers, 61 RBI, 98 runs scored, 22 steals, 17 doubles and 12 triples over 131 games this season.
Aug 29 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll padded an early Arizona lead with a solo shot in the fourth inning then, after New York took the lead, belted a game-deciding grand slam off closer Edwin Diaz in the eighth. The outfielder continued a torrid month of August, extending a hit streak to seven games (1.146 OPS) and belting nine home runs over the last 20 contests.
Aug 28 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll supplied a two-run homer off lefty Sean Manaea in the seventh with the game already out of reach. He now has seven home runs since Aug. 7 and is up to 15 for the year. He's hit safely in six straight games and 14 of his last 16. For the year, he's slashing .223/.310/.401 with 43 extra-base hits, 55 RBI, 94 runs, 21 steals and a 56:100 BB:K in 548 plate appearances.
Aug 20 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll singled and scored in the first inning and then belted his fifth home run in 10 games in the fifth. He has hit safely in eight of those 10 contests, logging three multi-hit efforts and crossing home plate 14 times. While the 24-year-old is still hitting just .221 on the season, his home run total now stands at 14 to go along with 51 RBI, 21 steals and 91 runs scored across 523 plate appearances.
Aug 18 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored Sunday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's eighth-inning blast was his 13th of the season and pulled the Diamondbacks to within three. It was Carroll's fifth homer in 10 starts since August 7 to go along with a triple, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, a stolen base and a .293 average over 41 at-bats. In what has been a down season for Carroll, he appears to be revving things back up with the stretch-run approaching.
Aug 12 2024Carroll went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll entered the game in the fourth inning after Lourdes Gurriel was forced to leave with left hamstring tightness. He was held in check until his final at-bat of the day when he took Jose Alvarado deep to left center to extend the Diamondbacks' lead. He's now homered in consecutive games and has three home runs this month after combining for six total between June and July. Carroll also has tallied at least a hit in 15-of-17 games he's played in since July 23. For the year, the 23-year-old is slashing .218/.308/.380 with 11 homers, 46 RBI, 79 runs, 21 steals and a 51:87 BB:K in 489 plate appearances.
Aug 11 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has an .896 OPS through nine games in August but will sit Sunday against Philadelphia lefty Cristopher Sanchez. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in right field in the series finale versus the Phillies.
Aug 10 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's blast capped off a seven-run seventh inning for the Diamondbacks. He has hit safely in 14 of his last 17 games, going 16-for-60 (.267) with four homers, four triples and nine RBI in that span. The outfielder is up to 10 homers, 44 RBI, 78 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a .217/.308/.374 slash line through 114 contests this season.
Aug 8 2024Carroll isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Carroll will retreat to the bench Thursday as southpaw Kolby Allard prepares to start on the bump for Philadelphia. Randal Grichuk will take over as Arizona's right fielder and bat fifth.
Aug 5 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll started the Diamondbacks' last two games against left-handed pitching but will take a seat Monday against southpaw Logan Allen. He has logged a hit in 10 of his last 11 games, going 11-for-41 (.268 average) with four triples, two home runs, 11 runs, four RBI and a stolen base during that stretch.
Jul 29 2024Carroll hit a walk-off, two-run home run in Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll started the game on the bench to avoid a matchup with left-handed pitcher Mitchell Parker. That left Carroll to come in off the bench, pinch hitting for Kevin Newman in the ninth inning. The homer was Carroll's sixth over his last 16 contests, giving him eight long balls on the year. The outfielder is hitting .236 (13-for-55) in that span, though that's an improvement on his .214 batting average for the season. He's added a .662 OPS, 38 RBI, 66 runs scored and 20 stolen bases over 103 contests.
Jul 28 2024Carroll went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll, hitting out of the eight-hole against a left-handed starter, led off the second inning with a solo shot to give Arizona a lead. The home run was his seventh of the season and fourth in the last nine contests, during which he's knocked in 10 runs. Carroll remains a leadoff batter against righties but is now being dropped further down the lineup against lefties.
Jul 21 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Carroll has now taken a seat in two of Arizona's last three matchups against left-handed pitchers, as he'll exit the lineup for the finale in Chicago while southpaw Shota Imanaga takes the hill for the Cubs. Randal Grichuk will check in for Carroll in right field and will bat second.
Jul 20 2024Carroll went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll stole his team-leading 19th base in the fourth inning when he swiped second base. He eventually got to third base with one out, but the Diamondbacks were unable to get him home. Of note, as was the practice in the weeks leading up to the All-Star break, Carroll remained in the lower third of the order against a left-handed starter.
Jul 14 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting each of the last four games, the lefty-hitting Carroll will get a breather as the Diamondbacks close out their pre-All-Star-break schedule with a matchup against a southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi). Carroll has endured a disappointing first half in which he's slashed just .213/.300/.335, but he turned in two big games in his starts against Toronto earlier in the weekend, going 3-for-8 with two home runs, two walks, two stolen bases, seven RBI and four runs between those contests. Fantasy managers will maintain hope that Saturday's two-home-run performance in particular portends a big second half for the 23-year-old outfielder.
Jul 13 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, one walk, six RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll hit a three-run blast in the seventh inning and added a two-run homer one inning later as Arizona romped to victory. With three homers over his last six games, it's possible the outfielder is building toward a strong second half. For the season, he has just five long balls to go with a .213/.300/.335 slash line, 32 RBI, 60 runs scored, 18 stolen bases, 16 doubles and six triples over 93 contests.
Jul 12 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll is batting just .186 (8-for-43) in July, but he's posted four extra-base hits and four steals over 10 contests this month. The outfielder is now 18-for-23 on the basepaths this season. He's also at a poor .210/.297/.316 slash line with three home runs, 26 RBI and 57 runs scored over 92 games for the year.
Jul 9 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Carroll will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Tuesday. Randal Grichuk, Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy fill the outfield from left to right.
Jul 8 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll led things off by taking Dylan Cease deep to right center to push the Diamondbacks ahead to an early 1-0 lead. It was his first home run since May 7 and his first RBI since June 18. Carroll is now up to three home runs for the year and is exhibiting a significant power decrease after blasting 25 long balls a season ago. The 23-year-old is now slashing .210/.297/.318 with 24 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 54 runs and a 38:68 BB:K in 379 plate appearances.
Jun 29 2024Carroll isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Carroll will take a seat Saturday with fellow left-hander Hogan Harris slated to start on the mound. Lourdes Gurriel, Jake McCarthy and Randal Grichuk will start across the D-backs' outfield while Carroll rests.
Jun 23 2024Carroll is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Carroll will begin Sunday's game in the dugout with Philadelphia sending southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the mound. Carroll is slashing .257/.373/.386 with 18 runs and five RBI over 70 at-bats in June. Jake McCarthy will start Sunday's game in center field and bat sixth.
Jun 22 2024Carroll went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies. He was also hit by a pitch. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll walked and stole a base ahead of Gabriel Moreno's home run in the third inning. The stolen base was Carroll's team-leading 14th, which is tied for 20th in MLB. As Carroll's reached base more frequently in the last two weeks, he's picked up his running pace. He's gotten on base at a .443 clip over the last 14 games and has attempted six steals during that stretch.
Jun 20 2024Carroll is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has finally heated up at the dish in reaching base 25 times while adding four stolen bases over his last 12 contests. He'll get some rest Thursday, however, as the Nationals send tough left-hander MacKenzie Gore to the hill. Additionally, Carroll recently overcame a left side injury, so the Diamondbacks were presumably keen on giving him some maintenance. Jake McCarthy will play center field in Thursday's series finale.
Jun 19 2024Carroll went 2-for-3 with two walks, a triple, a stolen base and a caught stealing in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll was removed from Sunday's game with discomfort in his left side, but he was ready to go Tuesday after an MRI came back clean. He led off the game with a walk, stole second base, then trotted in on Ketel Marte's home run. Carroll later tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly. The 2023 NL Rookie of the Year's season-opening slump has started to lift; he's 16-for-47 (.340) with four doubles, two triples, nine walks, four steals and 16 runs scored over the last 12 games.
Jun 18 2024Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Carroll (side) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll was removed from Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox with discomfort in his left side, but an MRI came back clean Monday. Lovullo shed more light on Carroll's injury Tuesday, noting that the outfielder was merely dealing with some cramping. He'll be in action for the series opener in Washington on Tuesday following the team off day Monday.
Jun 17 2024Carroll will rejoin the Diamondbacks in Washington for the start of their series against the Nationals on Tuesday after he underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed no significant damage to his left side, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks ordered up the MRI for Carroll after he experienced a "pull feeling" while making a throw in the seventh inning of Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox. He left the game shortly thereafter, though he was in positive spirits when describing his injury after the game. The MRI seems to have validated Carroll's optimism, and though he looks set to avoid a stint on the injured list and will rejoin the team, the Diamondbacks could still hold him out of the lineup for Tuesday's series opener if he's still dealing with some discomfort. Fantasy managers in leagues with weekly lineup decisions will likely want to keep close tabs on Carroll's status leading up to the 6:45 p.m. ET start time of Tuesday's contest.
Jun 16 2024Carroll (side) will undergo an MRI in Phoenix on Monday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll left Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox in the seventh inning with left side discomfort, and he will now require some additional imaging. The Diamondbacks will begin a three-game series on the road against the Nationals on Tuesday, and with Carroll staying in Arizona for the MRI on Monday, it's possible that he's forced to miss at least one contest. In his absence, Randal Grichuk would stand to see an increased role in the outfield.
Jun 12 2024Carroll went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll began his night with an RBI triple in the second and later came around to score. He then doubled his next time up in the fourth and would walk and cross home once more in the fifth. Carroll's been dialed in at the plate as of late. Over his last five games, he's tallied nine hits and four walks while not striking out a single time. The mini surge has lifted his slash line to .213/.300/.309 with 15 extra-base hits, 21 RBI, 35 runs and a 29:52 BB:K over 283 plate appearances.
Jun 10 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll tallied his second multi-hit game as well as his second stolen base this month after nabbing second in the eighth. He now has six hits and has reached base a total of nine times over his last four games. The 23-year-old still has a poor season slash line of .204/.291/.290 with two homers, 20 RBI, 33 runs and a 28:52 BB:K in 278 plate appearances.
Jun 6 2024Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's three-hit effort got his batting average over .200 for the first time since May 12. He's opened June 5-for-21 (.238) over six contests, and his steal Thursday was his first since May 25. The outfielder is slashing .201/.284/.291 with two home runs, 10 thefts, 20 RBI, 30 runs scored, seven doubles and four triples over 61 games in a disappointing second full campaign.
Jun 4 2024Carroll is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One day after being moved down to the No. 8 spot in the Diamondbacks' batting order, Carroll is now out of the lineup altogether. Both games have come versus left-handers. Carroll is hitting a woeful .192/.280/.281 during his massively disappointing 2024 campaign. Jake McCarthy is in center field Tuesday.
Jun 3 2024Carroll is starting in center field and batting eighth Monday night against the Giants, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's struggles at the dish have continued, as he's slashing .205/.289/.333 over his last 10 contests. Skipper Torey Lovullo noted that he'll likely bump Carroll down in the order against lefties moving forward, per Weiner. This change clears the way for Gabriel Moreno to move into the No. 2 spot in the order Monday evening.
May 27 2024Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona's offense couldn't get anything going until Carroll tripled and scored in the bottom of the eighth inning. It was the outfielder's fourth triple of the season, all coming within the last eight games. However, there's been little to celebrate for Carroll, whose .188 average and .096 ISO are miles below what they were in 2023.
May 26 2024Carroll went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll managed to make an impact without a hit. He led off the bottom of the first inning with a walk then stole a base before scoring the club's first run. An inning later, his sacrifice fly plated what turned out to be the winning run. The move back up to the top of the order hasn't shaken Carroll out of a season-opening slump. He was batting .203 as of May 5, when manager Torey Lovullo moved him back into the familiar leadoff role. Seventeen games later, Carroll's average has dipped to .186.
May 20 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit. He was also caught stealing. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll tripled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored the first of two Arizona runs during the frame. It was the second straight game with a triple for Carroll, who finished second in MLB last season with 10 three-baggers. He was moved back to the leadoff spot seven games ago, but it hasn't done much to break Carroll's season-long slump; he's 4-for-24 with three extra-base hits and five runs since the move and has been caught stealing twice.
May 15 2024Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll looked like he might be righting the ship earlier this month, but he's since fallen back into a 3-for-28 slump over his last seven contests. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field Wednesday while Carroll regroups.
May 10 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll delivered the go-ahead run on a two-out single in the top of the eighth inning, a half inning after the Reds plated three runs to tie the game. The outfielder returned to the top of the order this week after a season-opening slump dropped him to the lower third in late April. He's worked through the slow start, which he attributed to a flat swing, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Carroll has a pop-up rate of 15.2 percent on the season, more than double than what it was in 2023 (7.3 percent).
May 7 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and five total RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll looked back at home in the leadoff spot Tuesday -- after driving in two runs earlier in the game, the 23-year-old outfielder broke the game open with a three-run homer off the left-handed Justin Wilson in the seventh, his second long ball of the year and first since April 9, extending Arizona's lead to 5-0. After a brutal start to the season, it looks like Carroll may be starting to turn things around at the plate -- he now has at least one hit in six of his last seven contests, going 8-for-27 in that span. He's still slashing an uninspiring .211/.300/.278 through 34 games with 15 runs scored, 12 RBI and eight stolen bases.
May 6 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-4 win over San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll delivered a two-run single as part of Arizona's four-run first inning, snapping a 16-game drought without an RBI. He's hit in five of the last six games (6-for-22), which is a positive sign for the slumping outfielder, but Carroll's bat still lacks impact. Through 33 games, he has seven RBI, four extra-base hits and a .250 slugging percentage.
Apr 28 2024Carroll batted seventh and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll, who was dropped in the order Wednesday following a day off amid a slump, has hit seventh or eighth over the last four contests. It hasn't helped awake the bat. Carroll is 0-for-13 in those four games and is 1-for-25 with 11 strikeouts over the last seven. He's sitting at .189/.295/.236 with just five RBI over 27 games.
Apr 24 2024Carroll will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game in St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The struggling Carroll received a day off in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals while St. Louis started lefty Steven Matz, but the star outfielder will check back into the starting nine in the bottom third of the order Wednesday versus right-hander Kyle Gibson. It's the first time this season that the 23-year-old hasn't hit first or second for Arizona. Carroll takes season-long .215/.324/.269 slash line into play Wednesday.
Apr 23 2024Carroll is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Steven Matz is toeing the rubber for the Cardinals, so it's not a bad time to give the left-batting Carroll a day off as he goes through a season-opening slump. Carroll is slashing just .175/.298/.175 over his last 10 games. Jake McCarthy will play center field and Randal Grichuk will be in right Tuesday.
Apr 21 2024Carroll went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Giants, dropping his season average to .224 and OPS to .609. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A season-opening slump is taking its toll on Carroll, who has struck out seven times over the last three games -- he had just six punchouts over the first 18 contests. He's doing what he can to make an impact -- he has a team-high eight steals and 12 walks (second on team) -- but the immediate success he had as a rookie in 2023 has eluded him thus far in his sophomore season. Last year's Rookie of the Year has just three extra-base hits and five RBI through 21 games, and manager Torey Lovullo talked to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com about the outfielder's issues. "Maybe pitch selection," Lovullo said of what could be causing the struggles. "You know, trying to make adjustments in the wrong place and in the wrong space. Being athletic and just going out there and competing is a challenge for everybody and that'll be my challenge to Corbin. Just go up there and react to the baseball." Carroll's hard-hit percentage (25.0, fifth percentile) and average exit velocity (83.7 mph, third) are noticeable drop-offs from 2023.
Apr 15 2024Carroll injured his left wrist after colliding with teammate Jake McCarthy while converging on a flyball Sunday but stayed in the game, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. He finished out the game, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll was down on the ground for a bit before jogging off the field. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo confirmed no X-rays were needed, and that Carroll would be in Monday's starting lineup against the Cubs.
Apr 13 2024Carroll went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 9-6 loss to St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll extended a hit streak to six games and swiped his fourth bag of the season. He leads the Diamondbacks in steals, but it's been a slow start to the season for Carroll, who still carries just a .684 OPS, so his hit streak is a welcome sign. He's mired in the lower percentile of average exit velocity (82.3 mph) and is chasing more than ever (32.3 percent).
Apr 10 2024Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll, who filled in as the leadoff batter for a resting Ketel Marte, homered on the second pitch of the game, sending a slider on the outside corner the other way. It was the first home run of the season for Carroll, who's wielded a quiet bat out of the gate -- he entered with a .590 OPS and one RBI through 10 games.
Apr 9 2024Carroll went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 loss to Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll stole his third bag (caught twice) and logged his third multi-hit game of the season. He's batting just .225 with has one extra-base and one RBI through the season's first 10 games.
Apr 2 2024Carroll is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Yankees, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he has already drawn six walks, Carroll has just three singles and no RBI in his first five games this season. He'll get a breather Tuesday while Jorge Barrosa makes his first major-league start in center field and Jake McCarthy plays right.
Mar 31 2024Carroll went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run and a stolen base in a loss against Colorado on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll has yet to record an extra-base hit through three games, but he's gotten on base eight times over 15 plate appearances due largely to his five walks. The talented young star swiped his first bag of the campaign Saturday and should be able to record plenty more thefts if he continues to reach base frequently, as he notched 54 steals on 59 attempts last year. Carroll also hit 25 homers, 30 doubles and 10 triples last season, so his power is likely to show up before long.
Mar 8 2024Carroll went 0-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's spring game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll batted leadoff and scored his third run in the last four Cactus League games. The outfielder is expected to be Arizona's primary leadoff batter, and among the many assets he offers to fantasy lineups is runs. Carroll finished seventh in MLB last season, crossing the plate 116 times.
Oct 24 2023Carroll went 3-for-4 with two runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Phillies in Game 7 of the NLCS. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll had a much needed offensive breakthrough in Tuesday's outing since he had gone 3-for-24 in the prior six games of the series. The rookie outfielder is now in second place for steals in this postseason with four total and showed his utilization of elite-level sprint speed to generate runs. Carroll is now slashing .295/.396/.455 with two home runs, nine runs and six RBI in 44 at-bats this postseason.

Sep 29 2023Carroll went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's double was his 30th of the season, though it's hardly the most impressive of his milestones. He's hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, going 20-for-55 (364) in that span with seven steals and seven RBI. For the season, the rookie outfielder has managed a .287/.363/.510 slash line, 54 thefts, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 116 runs scored and 10 triples over 154 games. He's thrived in virtually every way possible on offense in his first full campaign.
Sep 28 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll's two-run double highlighted a three-run third inning that powered Arizona to victory. The leading candidate for NL Rookie of the Year, Carroll has been pivotal during an 8-2 stretch, which has the Diamondbacks on the brink of the playoffs. He's batting .364 (16-for-44) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI, four steals and 11 runs scored over the last 10 games.
Sep 25 2023Carroll went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Yankees on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 20 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.

The outfielder had gone seven games without a steal, and he's up to 48 thefts in 53 attempts this season. 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.

The run scored was his team-leading 104th, tying him for sixth in MLB.
Sep 13 2023Carroll is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Mets.

Lourdes Gurriel, Jake McCarthy and Tommy Pham are starting across the outfield Wednesday.
Sep 10 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. The outfielder is having quite a series at Wrigley, going 6-for-12 with six stolen bases, and he is up to 47 thefts in 138 games.
Sep 8 2023Carroll went 2-for-3 with three steals and one RBI in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. However, the play was overturned and ruled a single, allowing Carroll to swipe second and complete his three-steal afternoon. He has now stolen eight consecutive bases over 17 games since last being caught on Aug. 19.
Sep 7 2023Carroll (wrist) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Thursday versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll was removed from Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies after taking a pitch off his right wrist, but he only suffered a minor contusion and is ready to rock for Thursday's series opener at Wrigley Field. 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 6 2023Carroll was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion following his exit from Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 3 2023Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll tallied his ninth multi-hit effort over his last 14 games. The outfielder has added three homers and four stolen bases over that span as he continues to make a strong impact in all five standard fantasy categories.

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 2023Carroll went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll served as the Diamondbacks' leadoff man for the final three contests of the four-game set with Cincinnati and excelled as a table setter, 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 25 2023Carroll went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. Carroll is hitting .276 with an .865 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 90 runs scored through 124 games overall.
Aug 22 2023Carroll went 2-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 5-for-9 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After posting an .898 OPS for the first fourth months of the season, Carroll brings a .533 OPS in August into Wednesday's proceedings. The Diamondbacks are concluding their series in Colorado with a day game after a night game and the Rockies are starting a lefty, providing an opportune time for the rookie outfielder to regroup. Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Tommy Pham will serve as Arizona's starting outfielders Wednesday.
Aug 9 2023Carroll is batting leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was confident Carroll would be able to play Sunday. It was a productive day for Carroll, which included his 36th steal. It came after a stretch in which he hit .125 (4-for-32) over the previous nine games.
Aug 6 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll, like many other Diamondbacks, is mired in a 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 timeframe 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 2023Carroll batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 -- Arizona's managed 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.
Jul 31 2023Carroll 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.

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 2023Carroll went 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-1 with two RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 NL Rookie of the Year, Carroll inched closer to a 20-30 campaign. He's up to 19 home runs and 29 steals for the season.
Jul 19 2023Carroll went 2-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 16-13 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 it turned out to be.
Jul 8 2023Carroll went 2-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored and two steals in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll sustained a shoulder injury and was removed from Thursday's loss to the Mets. The Diamondbacks feared the worst at that moment, but testing yielded positive news, and the outfielder was back in the lineup Friday. 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 2023Carroll (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting second Friday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 6 2023The 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 5 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll (shoulder) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll (shoulder) entered Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Angels in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and grounded out. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Carroll's first activity in a game after sustaining a shoulder injury 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 2023Carroll (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 1 2023Carroll (shoulder) is not starting Saturday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll will be forced to miss the contest after exiting Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rays early with right shoulder soreness. Manager Torey Lovullo said there was "minimal concern" for Carroll moving forward. Dominic Fletcher was called up from Triple-A Reno and will start in left field while batting sixth against Los Angeles.
Jun 29 2023Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday there is only "minimal" concern about Carroll's sore right shoulder, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The dynamic 22-year-old outfielder was removed from Thursday's matinee 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 is not even scheduled for any imaging tests this time around. Consider him day-to-day leading into the Diamondbacks' three-game weekend series versus Angels.
Jun 28 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 27 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with a double, stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Giants.

He's been successful on his last 13 attempts, having last been caught April 29.
Jun 22 2023Carroll went 0-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 19 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Monday's 9-1 rout of Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 17 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 11 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, solo home run and grand slam in Friday's 11-6 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 seemingly 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 2023Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning, Colorado manager Bud Black opted to let right-hander Pierce Johnson pitch to the lefty Carroll rather than walk the bases loaded and face righty Christian Walker. Carroll managed to slap a fastball outside the zone for a walkoff single that 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 2023Carroll 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll 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 has 16 steals, which is good for fifth-best in baseball. 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. Carroll 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll jumped on a Tanner Houck fastball on the outside part of the plate and drove it 106.2 mph into the left field stands to give Arizona a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The home run was Carroll's eighth of the season 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 2023Carroll went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll delivered the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth inning to set up Arizona's fourth straight win. After returning from injury and finishing out a homestand on a 2-for-22 stretch, Carroll's bat has come 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 2023Carroll went 1-for-2 with a home run, an RBI, three runs scored and two steals in Sunday's victory over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 17 2023Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Arizona 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." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll jammed his left knee into an outfield wall in Colorado on April 29, and the Diamondbacks have eased him back into action. 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 without a stolen base attempt since the injury.
May 11 2023Carroll is not in the lineup Thursday against the Giants, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll started in center field and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Carroll's first appearance in the field and first time starting on consecutive days since suffering a knee injury more than a week ago. The outing signals he's ready for full-time duty going forward after being eased back into the lineup. Prior to Monday, Carroll served as a DH or pinch hitter and wasn't used on consecutive days.
May 8 2023Carroll served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-5 in Sunday's 9-8 loss to Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll made his second start since coming back from a knee injury. He's yet to play the field or start in two consecutive games since returning, so it appears manager Torey Lovullo is easing him back to a full-time role in the outfield.
May 7 2023Carroll went 1-for-1 with a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll will sit Saturday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll missed three games earlier this week with a knee contusion but returned to action and went 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 5 2023Carroll (knee) is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll (knee) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and batted twice. He singled to start a five-run rally, scored a run, then struck out to end the inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 skipper gave him a soft return as a pinch hitter. With the Diamondbacks off Thursday, Carroll will likely return as a starter Friday against the Nationals.
May 3 2023Carroll (knee) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2 2023Carroll (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Carroll (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Carroll suffered what the Diamondbacks describe as a left knee contusion during Saturday's 11-4 win over the Rockies. He sat out the Diamondbacks' 12-4 loss Sunday in the series finale, but for the time being, the team believes the injury isn't serious. Nonetheless, Carroll will head in for further testing just so Arizona can have more peace of mind about his health.
Apr 30 2023Carroll (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 2023Diamondbacks 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: "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.
