Corbin Carroll Resting Against A Southpaw
5 months agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Washington Nationals with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound. Carroll hasn't performed like the reigning National League Rookie of the Year in 2024, hitting just .218/.309/.324 with two homers, 23 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 43 runs scored in 275 at-bats. It's been disappointing for his fantasy managers, but the good news is that the 23-year-old has begun to turn things around in the month of June, going 18-for-62 (.290) with five doubles, two triples, five RBI, 10 walks, four stolen bases and 17 runs scored in 17 games played. Jake McCarthy is playing center field and batting sixth against Gore on Thursday. McCarthy also hits lefty, but he's actually 12-for-30 (.400) in his limited action against southpaws this year.
