Carroll went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning, Colorado manager Bud Black opted to let right-hander Pierce Johnson pitch to the lefty Carroll rather than walk the bases loaded and face righty Christian Walker. Carroll managed to slap a fastball outside the zone for a walkoff single that completed the Diamondbacks' comeback. He's on a productive five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-19 with two home runs, seven RBI and four runs.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Homers, steals twice in win
Rotowire
Carroll went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, two steals and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rockies.
Carroll first reached in the fourth after a leadoff walk and stole second and third before crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly. It was the fifth time this year he's stolen multiple bases in a game and now has 16 steals, which is good for fifth-best in baseball. The 22-year-old also went long for the second time in three games after roping a solo shot to right off Kyle Freeland in the sixth. Carroll is slashing .346/.393/.692 with a 1.085 OPS over his last seven games but was still moved down to sixth in the batting order with a lefty on the mound Tuesday, which has been his most common spot in the lineup against a southpaw. It's unclear whether manager Torey Lovullo has any plans to move him up in the order against left-handers, but he's certainly proved himself thus far, slashing .309/.356/.455 over 60 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

The rookie outfielder has gone 6-for-18 in his last six games, with a double and two homers in that span.

Rotowire
Carroll went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Mashes sixth homer
Rotowire
Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
Carroll crushed a fastball 429 feet to give the Diamondbacks a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning. Carroll had a good series against Oakland pitching, as he reached base seven times in three games. The rookie is off to a great start with an .856 OPS, six homers and 10 stolen bases in 41 games.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll's day off Thursday was planned and the outfielder is fine, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. "We targeted a certain portion of this return to have an off day," Lovullo said. "He's fine. He's in a good spot."
Carroll jammed his left knee into an outfield wall in Colorado on April 29, and the Diamondbacks have eased him back into action. He served as a DH upon his return to the lineup and was not used on consecutive days initially. This week, Carroll played three consecutive days as an outfielder before Thursday's rest day. He remains an instrumental part of the offense and is 5-for-22 (.227) with a double, a home run, two RBI, three walks and four runs scored without a stolen base attempt since the injury.

Carroll started in center field and went 0-for-5 in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami.
This was Carroll's first appearance in the field and first time starting on consecutive days since suffering a knee injury more than a week ago.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Enters as pinch hitter
Rotowire
Carroll went 1-for-1 with a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.
The Diamondbacks are easing Carroll back from a minor knee issue and held him out of Saturday's starting lineup after the outfielder served as the DH on Friday. He singled in a pinch-hit at-bat for Evan Longoria in the eighth inning and finished the game as the DH. His ninth-inning walk set the stage for Pavin Smith's walkoff walk. Since injuring his left knee April 29, Carroll has made three appearances (one start) as a pinch hitter and designated hitter.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Back on bench
Rotowire
Carroll will sit Saturday against the Nationals.
Carroll missed three games earlier this week with a knee contusion but returned to action and went 1-for-3 with a homer and a walk Friday, albeit as a designated hitter. His off day Saturday is presumably related to the same injury, but the Diamondbacks haven't announced a setback, so it's likely that they simply want to ease him back into action. Evan Longoria will serve as the designated hitter Saturday, while Dominic Fletcher takes Carroll's usual spot in right field.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Gets two ABs as pinch hitter
Rotowire
Carroll (knee) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and batted twice. He singled to start a five-run rally, scored a run, then struck out to end the inning.
Carroll was held out of the starting lineup after running in the outfield prior to the game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Coaches and trainers watched the running session, suggesting it was a test for his return. Manager Torey Lovullo opted to hold the outfielder out for one more game, but the skipper gave him a soft return as a pinch hitter. With the Diamondbacks off Thursday, Carroll will likely return as a starter Friday against the Nationals.

Carroll suffered what the Diamondbacks describe as a left knee contusion during Saturday's 11-4 win over the Rockies. He sat out the Diamondbacks' 12-4 loss Sunday in the series finale, but for the time being, the team believes the injury isn't serious.

Lourdes Gurriel is getting the start in left field and hitting third while Pavin Smith is handling right field and batting sixth.
