Corbin Carroll<\/strong><\/a> has been diagnosed with a \u201cchip fracture\u201d in his left wrist, manager Torey Lovullo told D-Backs\u2019 postgame host Todd Walsh (h\/t to Jody Jackson<\/a>). It\u2019s unclear how long he\u2019ll be out of action or whether there\u2019s any consideration of surgery. Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic<\/a> had reported shortly before Lovullo\u2019s announcement that the D-Backs would place Carroll on the injured list tomorrow. According to Piecoro, Jake McCarthy will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to take his spot on the roster.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest hit to an Arizona team that has been battered by injuries. In this month alone, they\u2019ve lost Corbin Burnes and top relievers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez to season-ending elbow surgeries. Starting catcher Gabriel Moreno went down with a broken index finger last week. They\u2019ll now be without one of their top two hitters for what seems likely to be at least a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Carroll was injured during last Wednesday\u2019s loss to the Blue Jays. Toronto reliever\u00a0Justin Bruihl hit him<\/a> on the left wrist with a 91 MPH sinker. The D-Backs lifted him for a defensive replacement in the following half-inning. Carroll hasn\u2019t played since and wasn\u2019t recovering as well as hoped. The Snakes sent him for an MRI that revealed the bone break. It\u2019s unfortunately similar to the situation that played out with Moreno, who initially continued to play after a first round of x-rays didn\u2019t catch the hairline fracture in his finger.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Carroll has had a fantastic season, hitting .255\/.341\/.573 with 20 homers in 72 games. He got out to a blistering start, cooled a bit in May, and had rebounded to reel off nine extra-base hits in 13 games this month. Carroll has been a fixture in the top two spots in Lovullo\u2019s batting order all season. They\u2019ve bumped Geraldo Perdomo to the leadoff spot, at least against right-handed pitching, in his absence. Randal Grichuk has drawn into the lineup as the right fielder.<\/p>\n

Grichuk is a solid role player but obviously isn\u2019t going to come close to replacing Carroll\u2019s production. If there\u2019s a silver lining, it\u2019s that the Diamondbacks still have a strong nucleus. A lineup including Ketel Marte, Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, Josh Naylor, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Perdomo should remain capable of scoring runs. They need an elite offense to compensate for the struggles of the injury-riddled pitching staff, though, and that\u2019s much more difficult without Carroll at the top.<\/p>\n

Arizona bludgeoned the White Sox for a 10-0 victory tonight. That brought them to 40-38 on the season. They\u2019re in fourth place in the NL West but are just 2.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot. Few teams have more at stake over the next five weeks as they hope to remain in position to add at the deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Corbin Carroll has been diagnosed with a \u201cchip fracture\u201d in his left wrist, manager Torey Lovullo told D-Backs\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[11283,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-10368","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-corbin-carroll","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114737625398968614","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
