Overview
- Carroll was removed from the Diamondbacks’ lineup Thursday against the Mets with tightness in his left hip flexor.
- He first felt the tightness while rounding second on a seventh‑inning triple in Wednesday’s win, then noticed it more after the game ended.
- Manager Torey Lovullo called the concern very minimal and said no imaging was scheduled, noting cold conditions may have contributed.
- Arizona planned to cover the outfield Thursday with Alek Thomas, Tim Tawa, and Jorge Barrosa while Carroll rests.
- Carroll has been a key bat to start the season, entering Thursday at .333/.408/.690 with 11 RBIs, and he logged two doubles and a triple in his 500th career game Wednesday.
