Diamondbacks Await News on Corbin Carroll’s‌ Hand Injury

⁣ Updated June 19, 2025

Toronto — Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, a key player in their lineup, is day to day after being struck on the left hand by a 91.4 mph sinker Wednesday night. The incident occurred⁢ in the eighth inning of Arizona’s 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays, ⁢courtesy ⁤of left-hander Justin Bruihl.

Carroll remained in the game to run the bases ​but was removed after the inning. ⁢Initial X-rays came back ⁣negative, offering a measure of ‌relief to the team and its fans. Manager Torey Lovullo acknowledged the positive ​news regarding the ⁤X-ray results.

The Diamondbacks have faced a string of injury woes this season, with pitchers Corbin Burnes and Justin Martinez​ both requiring Tommy John surgery. Reliever A.J.Puk is also seeking ‍medical advice for⁤ an elbow issue. The team hopes Carroll has avoided a serious injury, though pain remains a concern.

Carroll described the sequence leading to the hit-by-pitch.⁢ “He threw me some front-hip sliders ‌and then threw a sinker off ‌of it,” ‍Carroll said. “two strikes, you’ve kind of got to stay in there, and it just squared ⁢me up pretty good.”

After consultation ⁤with the medical staff and Lovullo, Carroll initially stayed in the game. However, he recognized ⁤the need‌ to exit for precautionary reasons. “We’ve got plenty of great outfielders, so it was an easy call to come out,” Carroll said, emphasizing the​ team’s depth.

Carroll’s ⁤role and potential absence hinges on his condition Thursday morning. “Fingers crossed that it’s ‍good enough to go tomorrow, but we’ll see,” Carroll said. “That’s kind of always the thing with ‍something like this — it’s not really a risk for further injury, it’s just a pain tolerance-type thing.”

The Diamondbacks are familiar ‌with the complexities of hand injuries. Catcher Gabriel Moreno was ‍previously struck on the hand June 6 in cincinnati. While initial X-rays were negative, Moreno has experienced lingering soreness, sidelining him for recent games.

What’s next

The Diamondbacks⁣ will evaluate Corbin Carroll’s condition Thursday to determine his availability and role for the upcoming game. ​The ​team hopes he can avoid the⁣ injured list.
