Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll exited Sunday's game in Phoenix against the Toronto Blue Jays after four innings due to low back tightness.
But manager Torey Lovullo had a positive update on Carroll's status postgame, saying he expected the All-Star to be available for the D-backs' next game Tuesday.
Carroll, 25, appeared to grimace in pain while striking out in the third inning, and he used some time while playing right field in the fourth inning to stretch out his back.
The Diamondbacks were trailing 10-1 when Carroll was removed. He was replaced in right field by Jorge Barrosa, who hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning as Arizona went on to lose 10-4.
'I went over to Corbin, and he was fine,' Lovullo said. 'He felt like he was in a good spot. I just said, look, I'm going to start to layer in guys to get him off the field.'
Asked directly if Carroll would be available Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, Lovullo answered, 'He's already in the lineup, yeah. He's starting in right field on Tuesday.'
Carroll went 0-for-2 with the strikeout, lowering his batting average to .300 with a .390 on-base percentage and .600 slugging percentage. He has three home runs, 16 RBIs, six doubles and a major league-leading three triples in 20 games.
Carroll missed two games in early April against the New York Mets due to tightness in his left hip flexor.
He said after the game that his back issue might be related to the hip flexor tightness.
'It was enough where in a game like that, I'm fine getting out of there,' Carroll said. 'But in a closer game, I definitely would have stayed.'
He said that he feels good and 'could go play right now.'
An All-Star in 2023 and 2025, Carroll was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Arizona selected him in the first round (16th overall) of the 2019 MLB Draft.
