Carroll isn't starting Monday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll started the last four games, but manager Torey Lovullo and general manager Mike Hazen recently said that the 22-year-old won't be an everyday player over the final month of the regular season. Carroll will get a day off Monday while Stone Garrett starts in left field and bats seventh.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo and general manager Mike Hazen presented reasons why Carroll will not be an everyday player over the final month of the season, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lovullo said Carroll will play "a lot" but not "every day," because the prospect will need time off. Hazen noted that 2022 has been the longest of Carroll's career by far, indicating that playing him "seven days a week is probably not realistic." Hazen has a point; the outfielder entered Thursday having played 95 games this season, well over his previous professional high of 42 in 2019. Other factors impacting Carroll's playing time is the crowd of players in the outfield that need plate appearances, and the hope of preserving his rookie status for 2023. If a team places a rookie on its Opening Day roster and he goes on to win the Rookie of the Year award, the club receives a draft pick, per the new collective bargaining agreement. Carroll must remain under 130 at-bats in 2022 to be classified as a rookie next season.

Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Despite getting off to a historic start to his big-league career with three hits, five RBI and four runs through his first two games, the lefty-hitting Carroll will take a seat with the Phillies bringing southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill for the series finale. Carroll won't necessarily be deployed exclusively as a strong-side platoon player moving forward, as he made his MLB debut Monday against Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
It only took Carroll two games to earn a multi-hit effort. The top prospect has gone 3-for-10 with five RBI, two doubles and four runs scored through those two contests since earning his first big-league promotion. He's already showing enough with the bat to command a starting role, though he'll have to stay sharp to fend off the hot-hitting Jake McCarthy for playing time in left field.

Carroll went 1-for-5 with a double, two runs and two RBI in a 13-7 win against Philadelphia on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll grounded out in his first big-league at-bat, but he reached on an error in his next plate appearance and doubled home two runs in his third. This certainly qualifies as a successful debut for the organization's top prospect after he slashed .307/.425/.610 with 24 homers and 31 stolen bases in the minors this season. Carroll should see ample opportunity down the stretch for an Arizona team that is essentially out of the playoff picture.

Carroll will start in right field and hit eighth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll was called up by the Diamondbacks on Monday afternoon, and he will jump right into the lineup and make his debut the same night. While Carroll will hit lower in the order to start, his .426 career OBP and his standing as perhaps the top prospect in all of baseball suggest he will not stay there for long.

The Diamondbacks selected Carroll's contract from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll is one of the top prospects in baseball and will be available to make his big-league debut Monday against the Phillies. The 22-year-old consistently impressed in the minors after being drafted out of high school in 2019, and he slashed .287/.408/.535 with seven homers, 25 runs, 22 RBI and 11 steals over 33 games at Reno after being promoted in mid-July. He should see regular playing time in Arizona's outfield over the final month of the 2022 season.

Carroll is expected to be called up from Triple-A Reno ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll has been on a tear in the minors this year, slashing .303/.422/.604 with 23 homers, 87 runs, 61 RBI and 31 stolen bases over 91 games between the Double-A and Triple-A clubs. The 22-year-old rose quickly through the Diamondbacks' farm system after being drafted out of high school in 2019, and he should have plenty of chances to carve out playing time -- and provide fantasy value -- over the final month of the regular season.

Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said Thursday that Carroll will make his major-league debut before the end of the season, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll looks ready, as evidenced by his .316/.430/.590 slash line over parts of three minor-league seasons including a 1.047 OPS between Double-A and Triple-A this year. The general manager stressed he wants Carroll to stay in the majors once he arrives while noting his amount of practical experience is relatively low. "I would be hard pressed to go back and find a player who has probably climbed through the system as a high school kid in 130 games (and be) on the precipice of the big leagues," Hazen said. Carroll has just 625 plate appearances in the minors since being drafted out of high school.

Carroll went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was Carroll's third in 10 games since being promoted to Reno. He hasn't slowed down at all since his promotion from Double-A Amarillo, batting .278 (10-for-36) with six extra-base hits, eight RBI, 13 runs, five stolen bases and 11 walks. Arizona's starting outfield in 2023 is shaping up to be a trio of young prospects, featuring Carroll, Alek Thomas and Daulton Varsho.
