Corbin Carroll

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (elbow) had offseason elbow surgery last Thursday to remove loose bodies, according to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Carroll is expected to maintain a normal offseason program and should be a full-go for spring training next year. The All-Star outfielder and former National League Rookie of the Year said he felt "a little bit" of discomfort in his elbow during the season, but it worsened last week. He said he has a minimally invasive NanoScope procedure, which is the same one that left-hander Tarik Skubal had when he was still with the Detroit Tigers last season that allowed him to return from the injured list in only six weeks. Carroll said he is hoping to start swinging a bat again at the start of December. Piecoro notes that the bigger issue for Carroll in 2026 was his back. He is trying to put himself in better positions in the weight room to avoid similar problems in the future. The 26-year-old also had a hamate procedure on his hand at the start of spring training, and he hit .239/.328/.467 with 22 homers, 33 doubles, and 17 triples while stealing 21 bases in 582 at-bats. It was definitely a drop after Carroll had 31 homers, 84 RBI, and 32 steals in 2025, but he has at least 22 homers and 21 stolen bases in each of the last four years.
