The Arizona Diamondbacks are facing a tough season plagued by injuries, particularly affecting key players. After pitching injuries, the batting lineup is now hit hard, with outfielder Corbin Carroll suffering a chip fracture in his wrist from a hit by a pitch. He joins catcher Gabriel Moreno on the injured list, and with home run leader Eugenio Suarez also unavailable, the team has called up Jake McCarthy to fill the gap. As they sit 2.5 games away from an NL Wild Card spot, the injuries could significantly impact their competitiveness in the division.
Injuries have been piling up for Arizona, and it seems that they keep happening to the Diamondbacks' best players this season. Carroll is expected to return sometime after the All-Star break, but the Diamondbacks will be without the 2023 Rookie of the Year and his .255 BA, .341 OBP, .573 SLG, and .914 OPS for the foreseeable future.
The injuries stayed in the pitching rotation at first, with relief man A.J. Puk also undergoing Tommy John surgery, but within the last couple of games, the injury bug has gone to the team's batting lineup.
