Corbin Carroll Nears Return to Outfield Defense

Corbin Carroll is expected to return to playing the outfield in games by Wednesday or Thursday, likely in a backfield setting. The 25-year-old, who underwent surgery in mid-February to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, is currently making his third spring training appearance as a designated hitter. Barring any setbacks, the Diamondbacks expect Carroll to be ready to start in right field for the team's Opening Day matchup.
