Corbin Carroll Returns On Fourth Of July
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday and is starting in left field and facing New York Mets right-hander Max Scherzer. Carroll made a pinch-hitting appearance on Sunday and had the off day on Monday to rest up, but this will be his first start since injuring his shoulder last Thursday. The D-backs were never really too concerned with the injury, so the 22-year-old should be in there until next week's All-Star break. Carroll is an absolute must-start when he's playing, as he's hitting .289/.365/.557 with a .923 OPS, 17 home runs, 20 doubles, three triples, 44 RBI, 24 stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 324 trips to the plate over 80 games this year.

Corbin Carroll Considered Day-To-Day
4 weeks agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is considered day-to-day in camp, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Back tightness caused the Diamondbacks to pull Carroll from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers. The 24-year-old isn't very concerned about the injury, so it sounds as though he could be back in spring action later this week, barring a setback. Before his back tightened up, Carroll has gone 6-for-12 early in Cactus League play with three long balls and two stolen bases. For now, fantasy managers should have no hesitation about taking him as a top-five fantasy outfielder in drafts. He's currently ranked as the No. 2 fantasy outfielder at RotoBaller, behind only Aaron Judge. Carroll won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Despite a near 50-point drop in average in 2024, he still had 22 homers, 74 RBI and 35 steals in 158 games.

Corbin Carroll Removed From Sunday's Game
4 weeks agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) was removed from Sunday's spring training contest due to lower-back tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the next few days as this move could have been precautionary. Before exiting the contest, Carroll went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout. During the early part of spring training, the former top prospect has been flashed elite power as he has gone deep three times and held a 1.821 OPS across five games. The 24 year-old has noted that he focused on continuing to improve the swing adjustments he made during the second half of the 2024 season. After the Midsummer classic last season, Carroll carried an elite .919 OPS which was a significant increase compared to the .635 OPS he held in the first-half. When healthy, fantasy managers should view Carroll as an elite five-category contributor in all formats with the upside to showcase career-high power production.

Corbin Carroll Adjusting His Swing
1 month agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has adjusted his swing. The young outfielder has modified his positioning in the batter's box. He began to make this adjustment during the second half of last season and focused on refining it during the winter. The 24-year-old already saw significant improvements when he made the modification last season and could see an even greater one following a full offseason. During the first half of the 2024 season, Carroll posted an underwhelming .212/.301/.334 line with five home runs and 18 stolen bases. However, during the second half, the former top prospect posted a .258/.351/.568 line with 17 long balls and 17 swiped bags. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his power improvement during camp, but given the adjustments last season, he could be poised a career season in 2025. The 24-year-old should be viewed as a high-end outfielder in all formats.

Corbin Carroll Fine After Getting Hit By Pitch
1 month agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll appears to have avoided any serious injuries after a incident earlier on Friday. The speedy outfielder was reportedly hit by a pitch while taking batting practice. Whenever that happens there is always immediate concern of injury, but Carroll appears to be fine. Carroll was reportedly playing catch later in the day, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about right now. Carroll has played over 300 games during the last two seasons and has been a significant factor in the D-Backs lineup. Fantasy managers saw Carroll's statistics take a dip last season, but he was still a productive player despite some offensive struggles.
