D-backs’ outfielder Corbin Carroll has surgery on right elbow, should be ready for spring training

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll underwent surgery on his right elbow this week to remove loose bodies, according to the Phoenix (AP). He is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in February, with a full recovery anticipated to take about eight weeks. The three-time All-Star had a productive season last year, hitting .239 with 22 home runs, 78 RBIs, 33 doubles, and a league-leading 17 triples despite dealing with several injuries.

Injuries, including hamate bone surgery that caused him to miss much of spring training, and back soreness during the final months of the season contributed to his struggles in the second half after a strong start. The 26-year-old has been one of the team's top players since winning NL Rookie of the Year honors in 2023, leading the Diamondbacks to a surprising World Series appearance.

Earlier this month, Carroll was awarded his first Gold Glove for his impressive play in right field. The surgery was first reported by The Arizona Republic.
