Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is not in Sunday's lineup as the Diamondbacks look to clinch a four-game sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates regarding Carroll as this move may be injury related. As a result Pavin Smith will cover right field and bat in Carroll's typical leadoff spot. After posting a mere .202 AVG through the first half of the season, Carroll has begun to turn the corner in the second half carrying a much-improved .259/.352/.585 line. Since the start of September he has held a .243/.367/.432 line with four doubles, two triples, and two home runs. Smith is worth a look in DFS as he will face Milwaukee right-hander Frankie Montas who is carrying a 4.50 ERA into Sunday's tilt.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll belted a pair of home runs in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Rockies, walking once, driving in three runs, and scoring three times in the contest as well. The two round-trippers got him over the 20-homer threshold, giving him his second consecutive 20/20 season in his young career. The 24-year-old hit .212 with five home runs and 18 steals in 93 games prior to the All-Star break, but since then he's flipped a switch, hitting .274 with 16 home runs and 11 steals in 52 games. The reigning N.L. Rookie of the Year has turned it on at the right time for fantasy managers and now owns a .235-21-70-115-29 line on the season with a .329 wOBA and 110 wRC+.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll continued his August resurgence in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Mets, blasting two home runs and collecting five RBI in the contest. The first home run was the solo variety, but the second was a go-ahead and eventual game-winning grand slam in the eighth inning off of the Mets' struggling closer, Edwin Diaz. It was the second consecutive game with a homer for Carroll, and he's now slashing .267/.333/.656 in August with nine home runs, 21 RBI, and 27 runs scored in 24 games. The 24-year-old is a big reason the Diamondbacks have been winning more games lately, with 15 of his 17 home runs coming in the last two months alone. If there is something fantasy managers can complain about it is that the reigning N.L. Rookie of the Year has stolen just three bases since the All-Star break and 21 on the season, on pace to drastically underproduce after swiping 54 bags last season. With his bat coming to life at the right time, however, managers shouldn't feel too disappointed in using such a high draft pick on him.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had a good day at the plate in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. Carroll went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 24-year-old drove a fifth-inning Edward Cabrera fastball to the opposite field, placing it over the left-field fence for his 14th long ball of the season. Carroll's season numbers still leave a lot to be desired. However, he has picked things up in the second half of the season, slashing .252/.339/.612 with nine HR, 31 runs scored, 19 RBI, and three stolen bases in 103 at-bats. The lack of steals is disappointing, but fantasy managers can't complain too much given the amount of power Carroll has provided.

The 2023 National League Rookie of the Year has had an underwhelming second season in the big leagues, slashing .218/.308/.380 with only 11 homers in 115 games (426 at-bats).

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is sitting out on Sunday evening as the Diamondbacks get set to face the Philadelphia Phillies. The 2023 All-Star and National League Rookie of the Year has had an underwhelming sophomore season, slashing .217/.308/.374 with 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 114 games (423 at-bats). This decision is not all that surprising, as Carroll is slashing .184/.268/.280 against lefties this season, and Cristopher Sanchez, one of the league's best, is starting for the Phillies. Carroll has been hot of late with an OPS of 1.037 in his last seven games, so he could possibly enter the game in the later innings as a pinch-hitter against a righty.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup on Monday with the team facing left-hander Logan Allen and the hosting Cleveland Guardians. With Carroll starting on the bench, Randal Grichuk will start in right field and will hit fifth against Allen.

Since the All-Star break, he has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with three home runs, four triples, seven RBI, seven walks, 12 strikeouts and two stolen bases in 14 games played. Grichuk represents a low-upside DFS sleeper on Monday, but he is hitting .291 (32-for-110) with a homer and 18 RBI against southpaws on the year. Grichuk also has a hit in his only career at-bat against Allen.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will take a seat on Sunday at Wrigley Field against the hosting Chicago Cubs and left-hander Shota Imanaga. With Carroll resting against a tough southpaw, veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk will draw into the lineup in right field and will hit in the two-hole against Imanaga. who he has never faced in his career. Carroll, last year's National League Rookie of the Year, was extremely disappointing in the first half of the season outside of his stolen bases and runs scored. He's starting to show some signs of life at the plate, but he's still hit just .200 (11-for-55) with four home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI and five stolen bases in 14 games in the month of July. Carroll has been more productive of late than he has for most of the first half of the season, and fantasy managers will be hoping that can continue in the second half.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a bit odd to see Carroll out of the lineup following a two-homer game. However, the D-Backs are planning to play matchups here against a left-handed starting pitcher. Ketel Marte will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff, while Randal Grichuk cover right field versus southpaw Yusei Kikuchi.

While his power numbers are way down after hitting 25 homers last season, Carroll at least continues to provide fantasy gamers with plenty of steals and runs scored, making him worth a start in favorable matchups.
