Corbin Carroll Playing Through Low Back Discomfort, Doesn't Expect to Miss Time
Carroll is managing low back discomfort but does not anticipate a stint on the IL, per MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.
Corbin Carroll is dealing with low back discomfort and playing through it, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Carroll himself does not expect to miss time, though the situation carries the usual caveat that backs have a way of making their own scheduling decisions.
The Diamondbacks have had enough roster turbulence recently that another absence would be notable. Ketel Marte returned to the lineup batting cleanup after a stretch that included time on the restricted list and a knee issue, and LHP Blake Walston was reinstated from the 60-day IL following Tommy John surgery recovery. Arizona does not appear to need another moving part right now.
What remains unconfirmed
There is no official designation, no timetable mentioned, and no structural diagnosis attached to Carroll's discomfort. His own expectation that he will stay in the lineup is the operative fact here — not a medical clearance.
Watch whether the club offers any further update on the severity or origin of the issue.
