The Arizona Diamondbacks got some bad injury news to start their 2026 season.
Star outfielder Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hamate in his right hand during a live batting practice session on Tuesday, MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert reported.
Carroll is set to have surgery on Wednesday and will miss the upcoming World Baseball Classic, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported. His status for Opening Day is also in question.
Carroll, 25, finished sixth in National League MVP voting in 2025 after slashing .259/.343/.541 with 31 home runs and 32 stolen bases.
Selected in the first round of the 2019 draft by Arizona, Carroll has emerged as one of baseball’s top young stars across his four MLB seasons.
The five-foot-10 speedster won NL Rookie of the Year in 2023 and is a two-time all-star. Carroll has led the senior circuit in triples in each of the past three seasons and has 82 career homers and 123 stolen bases.
Carroll was expected to be a starter in Team USA’s outfield at the WBC, a group that is now made up of Aaron Judge, Byron Buxton and Pete Crow-Armstrong.
