PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had surgery this week to remove loose bodies in his right elbow and should be ready for the scheduled start of spring training in February, the team confirmed Friday. A full recovery is expected to take about eight weeks.
The three-time All-Star hit .239 with 22 homers, 78 RBIs, 33 doubles and a league-high 17 triples last season despite battling multiple injuries, including hamate bone surgery that caused him to miss much of spring training. He also dealt with back soreness during the final months of the season, part of the reason he struggled in the second half after a hot start.
Carroll, 26, has been one of the D-backs' best players since winning NL Rookie of the Year honors in 2023 and leading the team to a surprise World Series appearance. He was awarded his first Gold Glove earlier this month for his work in right field. Carroll's elbow surgery was first reported by The Arizona Republic.
