Carroll went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Monday's 5-4 loss against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll tied the game at 3-3 with a solo shot in the top of the seventh, marking his first homer of the season. The 2019 first-round pick made his MLB debut in 2022 and was solid in limited action, posting 27 hits (15 extra-base knocks), 14 RBI, eight walks and two stolen bases in 32 games (115 plate appearances).

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a run scored and three stolen bases in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll's speed played a part in both of Arizona's runs. He stole second and third on consecutive pitches in the fifth inning before trotting home on Geraldo Perdomo's double. Then, after stealing second base with two outs in the ninth inning, Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman played deep behind the bag, a situation that prompted Jake McCarthy to lay down a drag bunt which produced the game-winning run. Carroll, like many others in the Diamondbacks' lineup, is off to a slow start at the plate (3-for-14, .214) through four games.

Carroll is starting in left field and batting fifth for the Diamondbacks in Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

You could kind of understand the left-handed hitting Carroll in the seven spot versus southpaw Julio Urias, but moving up just two spots with righty Dustin May on the bump is disappointing. Carroll does seem like a good bet to move up eventually, but for the time being it's going to affect his counting stats.

Carroll is hitting seventh for the Diamondbacks in Thursday's season opener against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll should be the primary option at leadoff in Arizona as the 2023 season rolls along, but Kyle Lewis is getting the nod there Thursday with the division-rival Dodgers starting left-hander Julio Urias. Jake McCarthy is batting ninth.

Carroll and the Diamondbacks agreed to terms on an eight-year, $111 million deal Saturday with a club option for 2031, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the club option is declined, he'll receive a $5 million buyout. Carroll has played in only 32 big-league games -- and only 174 total professional games -- but the Diamondbacks are already sure that they want him in town for a long time. The contract will keep Carroll in Arizona through 2030 (his age-29 season) with a $23 million club option for 2031. Considered to be one of the top prospects in baseball, Carroll is now one of the building blocks for the Arizona club over the next decade, and he has the talent to be a player that contributes in all possible fantasy categories.

The Diamondbacks are engaged in conversations with Carroll about a long-term contract, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll has just 38 days of MLB experience, but Arizona clearly sees him as a centerpiece. It is believed the organization is seeking to lock him in beyond the six seasons of club control. In 32 MLB games in 2022, Carroll slashed .260/.330/.500 with four home runs, two triples, nine doubles, 14 RBI and two steals.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll hit the second of back-to-back home runs off righty reliever Trevor Gott to put the Diamondbacks ahead 4-2 in the ninth inning. The outfielder finished his rookie campaign on a down note, recording a .205 average over 39 at-bats over his final 12 games. The 22-year-old was drastically more productive on the road during 2022 with a 1.099 OPS over 62 plate appearances compared to a .540 OPS over 53 plate appearances in Arizona, which resulted in an overall OPS of .830 in 32 contests.

Carroll is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

While Carroll has started against the last four lefties Arizona has faced, he will head to the bench in the second-to-last game of the season with southpaw Eric Lauer on the hill for Milwaukee. Jordan Luplow is starting in left field and batting second.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll produced 31 stolen bases across 93 minor-league games this season, but that hasn't translated into a green light on the basepaths in the majors. He swiped a bag in the second inning of Sunday's contest for his second steal in 29 big-league games. The 22-year-old top prospect has still shown promise in other ways, slashing .260/.330/.469 with three home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through his first 106 plate appearances, and he should be in line for an everyday role in 2023.

Carroll isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

After playing in nine games over the last eight days and delivering a key three-run double in Wednesday's win, Carroll will get a breather Thursday against southpaw Julio Urias. Stone Garrett will assume the starting role in left field and bat second in the order.
