D-Backs' Outfielder Corbin Carroll Has Surgery on Right Elbow, Should Be Ready for Spring Training
The Diamondbacks said a full recovery should take about eight weeks after the procedure on the three-time All-Star's elbow.
- Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll underwent surgery on Thursday to remove 'loose bodies' from his right elbow, according to The Arizona Republic. The 26-year-old expects to be ready for spring training in February.
- Carroll said he felt 'a little bit' of elbow discomfort during the season, but symptoms worsened last week. He chose the minimally invasive NanoScope procedure, the same one Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal underwent previously.
- Earlier this week, the 26-year-old won his first Gold Glove Award for his defensive work in right field. Last season, he hit.239 with 22 homers, 78 RBIs, 33 doubles, and a league-high 17 triples.
- A full recovery is expected to take about eight weeks, forcing Carroll to delay his hitting schedule by two weeks. He hopes to start swinging the bat at the beginning of December.
- Though the elbow required surgery, Carroll focused on addressing back issues over the past month as a priority. He equated this procedure to his hamate surgery from spring training, calling it 'the removal of something' rather than a repair.
