The Arizona Diamondbacks activated outfielder Corbin Carroll from the 10-day injured list before Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals.
Carroll, sidelined since June 18 with a chip fracture in his left wrist, returned to his customary leadoff spot and was starting in right field against the Royals. He was injured when he was hit by a pitch thrown by Toronto’s Justin Bruhl.
Carroll said before Saturday’s game that his wrist felt better the last couple of days, and he played in a minor-league game on Friday in the Arizona Complex League to test it out.
The 2023 National League Rookie of the Year has 20 home runs, a major league-leading nine triples and a .255 batting average this season. To make room for Carroll on the roster, the Diamondbacks optioned utilityman Tim Tawa to Triple-A Reno.
