Corbin Carroll day-to-day with elbow issue from Cardinals game

PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star Corbin Carroll dropped his bat and looked to be in discomfort on a strikeout in the seventh inning on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, and he later left the game.

Carroll initially remained in the game to play defense, but when he was due to bat in the ninth inning, the D-backs called on Jorge Barrosa to pinch hit.

Manager Torey Lovullo revealed after the game that Carroll left with a hyperextended right elbow. Carroll is considered day-to-day.

“I’d done it on a couple swings before the break, but they didn’t linger,” Carroll said. “This one just lingered a little bit, but not concerned about it. Just maybe a day. We’ll see tomorrow.

“I just was having difficulty getting that arm back extended without it kind of tightening up on me, so just wasn’t able to go for today. I think tomorrow or the next day should be a good spot.”

Lovullo said Carroll did not undergo any imaging.

“A small part of me says he’ll be good enough to play in the game tomorrow, but we’re going to monitor him for the next 24 hours,” Lovullo said.

Carroll ended his afternoon 1-for-4 with two strikeouts and a double.
