Outfielder Corbin Carroll is more than living up to expectations, and the Arizona Diamondbacks hope his knee issue is only a speed bump in his season.
. That would be a relief for them on any number of levels, not the least of which being what he has meant to them through the first month of the season.
Now, the Diamondbacks can only hope that when Carroll gets back on the field — he seemed optimistic he would be able to return to the lineup on Tuesday night vs. the Rangers — he can pick up where he left off. Rojas’ mind went to a game last week, when Carroll managed to impact the game in a variety of ways. He fought off a pitch that jammed him, blooping it in for a double. He used his blazing speed to beat out an infield hit. He also scorched a ball into the gap for a triple.
“Nothing different process-wise,” Carroll said. “Just these things happen. You go through highs and lows. I’ve tried to do the same thing every day. I feel like I’m doing a good job of controlling the zone, hitting the pitches I want to hit, taking walks. Just playing the game. Understanding the situation.”
Said outfielder Alek Thomas: “Obviously there’s pressure when you have a contract like that and being so young and not having played that many games in the big leagues — or even the minor leagues. He’s doing a great job. He’s definitely just playing like himself, really. We’ve seen it. He’s definitely trending in a great direction. I hope it continues. He’s helping us win ballgames.”
