Corbin Carroll Homers, Scores Twice In Win On Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll went 2-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored in a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Carroll tied the game up at 2-2 with his solo homer in the second inning, a shot that traveled 401 feet with an exit velocity of 106.9 MPH. The veteran outfielder is off to a fast start in 2025, hitting .304 with four homers, nine runs, and seven RBI through 46 at-bats. While he is still looking for his first stolen base, Carroll stole a combined 89 bags over his previous two seasons, so they should eventually come. He remains an everyday starter in all fantasy leagues.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll came ready to swing the bat during Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Carroll took right-hander Jake Irvin deep with a solo shot in the third inning. After that, Carroll gave the D-Backs the lead with a two-run home run in the fifth inning. He finished his day 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI, and a walk in the win. The speedy outfielder is hitting .258 with three homers, six RBI, and surprisingly zero steals on the season. The 24-year-old is a must-start in all fantasy formats right now.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is getting pretty close to returning to Cactus League action, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The Diamondbacks were initially hoping that Carroll would return to the field on Wednesday, but they have elected to give him another day off to completely put his back injury in the rearview mirror. The 24-year-old was initially removed from Sunday's Cactus League contest against the Texas Rangers as a precaution. Barring a setback with his back, Carroll should be ready for Opening Day in late March. Fantasy managers shouldn't have any hesitation in taking Carroll early in drafts as an elite outfielder. The National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 was unable to bounce back from a slow start last year and finished with a .231 average, but he still managed 22 homers, 74 RBI, 35 steals and 121 runs scored in 158 games played.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is considered day-to-day in camp, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Back tightness caused the Diamondbacks to pull Carroll from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers. The 24-year-old isn't very concerned about the injury, so it sounds as though he could be back in spring action later this week, barring a setback. Before his back tightened up, Carroll has gone 6-for-12 early in Cactus League play with three long balls and two stolen bases. For now, fantasy managers should have no hesitation about taking him as a top-five fantasy outfielder in drafts. He's currently ranked as the No. 2 fantasy outfielder at RotoBaller, behind only Aaron Judge. Carroll won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Despite a near 50-point drop in average in 2024, he still had 22 homers, 74 RBI and 35 steals in 158 games.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) was removed from Sunday's spring training contest due to lower-back tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the next few days as this move could have been precautionary. Before exiting the contest, Carroll went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout. During the early part of spring training, the former top prospect has been flashed elite power as he has gone deep three times and held a 1.821 OPS across five games. The 24 year-old has noted that he focused on continuing to improve the swing adjustments he made during the second half of the 2024 season. After the Midsummer classic last season, Carroll carried an elite .919 OPS which was a significant increase compared to the .635 OPS he held in the first-half. When healthy, fantasy managers should view Carroll as an elite five-category contributor in all formats with the upside to showcase career-high power production.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has adjusted his swing. The young outfielder has modified his positioning in the batter's box. He began to make this adjustment during the second half of last season and focused on refining it during the winter. The 24-year-old already saw significant improvements when he made the modification last season and could see an even greater one following a full offseason. During the first half of the 2024 season, Carroll posted an underwhelming .212/.301/.334 line with five home runs and 18 stolen bases. However, during the second half, the former top prospect posted a .258/.351/.568 line with 17 long balls and 17 swiped bags. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his power improvement during camp, but given the adjustments last season, he could be poised a career season in 2025. The 24-year-old should be viewed as a high-end outfielder in all formats.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll appears to have avoided any serious injuries after a incident earlier on Friday. The speedy outfielder was reportedly hit by a pitch while taking batting practice. Whenever that happens there is always immediate concern of injury, but Carroll appears to be fine. Carroll was reportedly playing catch later in the day, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about right now. Carroll has played over 300 games during the last two seasons and has been a significant factor in the D-Backs lineup. Fantasy managers saw Carroll's statistics take a dip last season, but he was still a productive player despite some offensive struggles.
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.
