The Arizona Diamondbacks are facing a setback as the season begins, with star outfielder Corbin Carroll sidelined due to a hand injury. According to sources, Carroll suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand during a live batting practice session on Tuesday. This injury will keep him out of the World Baseball Classic, which starts on March 5th, and his availability for Opening Day on March 26th is now uncertain.
The 24-year-old Carroll, who made his MLB debut in 2022, was a key member of the Diamondbacks' young core. Last season, he hit .258 with 31 home runs and 84 RBIs, leading the league in triples with 17. His loss is a significant blow to the team's prospects for the upcoming season.
The Diamondbacks have not yet provided an update on Carroll's recovery timeline or his status for the rest of the spring training. This injury comes at a critical time, as Carroll was expected to be a key player for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. The team's fans and management are eagerly awaiting further news on his recovery and return to the field.
