Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll wins NL Player of the Week as his bat comes around

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll earned the National League Player of the Week award, showing signs that he is distancing himself from a midsummer slump.

Carroll went 9-for-22 (.409) with a 1.519 OPS over six games played last week against the Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves, racking up three doubles, two triples and two home runs.

His 15 triples are more than double anyone else in Major League Baseball and more than 13 teams entering Monday’s slate of games. He is in contention for the rare 20-triples, 20-home runs season, which has been done eight times in MLB history and not since 2007 (Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson). Carroll has 18 home runs this year.

The three-time All-Star really went through some tough times at the plate before this past week. Over his previous 40 games, Carroll hit .161 with 47 strikeouts, as the Diamondbacks relied on their lineup depth with Carroll and Ketel Marte going through their worst slumps of the season.

Carroll made several adjustments to try and break out of it, including changing his hand placement and his direction to the baseball. He did well at cutting down on the strikeouts with two in his previous six games.

This award represents a small sample size but a potential turning point for one of the game’s most dynamic stars, and for an offense that has gone through its ups and downs (especially with runners in scoring position lately), having that power threat back is a big deal.

This is Carroll’s third career NL Player of the Week award and his first of the 2026 season.

Pete Alonso of the Baltimore Orioles won the American League Player of the Week.
