Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has undergone surgery on his right elbow, the team announced Saturday. The procedure was performed with the expectation that Carroll will be fully recovered in time for spring training.
The 2023 National League Rookie of the Year missed significant time during the 2026 season due to the elbow issue. Carroll, 26, batted .285 with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs in 132 games before being shut down in September.
Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said the surgery was planned after the season concluded and that the organization is optimistic about Carroll's timeline. "Corbin worked incredibly hard to play through discomfort this year," Hazen said. "This procedure addresses the underlying issue and puts him on track for a normal offseason progression."
Carroll signed an eight-year, $111 million contract extension with Arizona in March 2023, the largest deal ever for a player with less than one year of service time. He finished third in NL MVP voting in 2023 and made his first All-Star appearance in 2024.
