Diamondbacks All-Star OF Corbin Carroll leaves game with low back tightness
Carroll, batting .300 with three homers, left after grimacing on a swing and was replaced by Jorge Barrosa.
- Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll left yesterday's 10-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays before the fifth inning due to low back tightness after grimacing during a third-inning strikeout.
- Manager Torey Lovullo noted Carroll has been "tightly wound," suggesting the tightness may relate to a recent left hip flexor injury that caused him to miss two games during the team's nine-game trip.
- With the D-backs trailing 8-0 after one inning in the blowout loss, Lovullo replaced starters including third baseman Nolan Arenado and left fielder Lourdes Gurriel to give multiple players rest.
- Lovullo assured reporters Carroll is "fine" and expected to start in right field on Tuesday when the D-backs open a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
- The situation remains day-to-day as Carroll continues to be monitored; the team appears to have avoided major injury but will track his condition closely before the upcoming series.
