D-backs' Corbin Carroll undergoes hand surgery, out for WBC

Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll broke the hamate bone in his right hand during batting practice Tuesday and underwent surgery Wednesday. This injury rules him out of the 2026 World Baseball Classic for Team USA and makes his Opening Day status doubtful, likely starting the season on the injured list. Carroll, a two-time All-Star and 2023 NL Rookie of the Year, is coming off his first-career 30/30 season, recording 31 HR, 84 RBI, 32 SB, a .259/.343/.541 slash line, and a 140 OPS+ last year. Recovery is typically 4-8 weeks, but power can be hindered, and he will miss significant spring training time.
