Corbin Carroll made his spring training debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday, going hitless in his first at-bats since February surgery to repair a hamate bone in his right hand. The two-time All-Star and 2023 NL Rookie of the Year grounded out, flied out, and struck out while serving as designated hitter in a 13-3 loss to Oakland. Carroll told reporters his hand 'felt fine' and he used an axe handle bat to manage discomfort, stating it was 'less painful' than before.

The injury, which also sidelined Francisco Lindor and Jackson Holliday, typically takes four to six weeks to heal. Carroll's return is a significant boost for Arizona's lineup depth as they navigate the stretch run.
