"Arizona Diamondbacks star outfielder Corbin Carroll broke the hamate bone in his right hand and will undergo surgery Wednesday, sources told ESPN, leaving him out of the World Baseball Classic and in question to be ready for Opening Day. Carroll, a two-time All-Star and former National League Rookie of the Year, broke the small, hook-shaped bone on his palm during a live batting-practice session Tuesday."
"Expected to play left field for the loaded Team USA in the WBC, Carroll will miss the tournament, which runs from March 5-17. Only three outfielders -- Aaron Judge, Byron Buxton and Pete Crow-Armstrong -- are currently on the United States' roster, with utilityman Ernie Clement having played there sparingly."
Corbin Carroll broke the hamate bone in his right hand during a live batting-practice session and will undergo surgery on Wednesday. The injury removes him from the World Baseball Classic roster and casts doubt on his readiness for Opening Day. Hamate breaks typically require four to six weeks of recovery, with some hitters needing additional months to regain power. Carroll, 25, is a two-time All-Star and former NL Rookie of the Year who hit a career-best 31 home runs and led MLB with 17 triples last season. Arizona's core includes Carroll, Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo signed through at least 2030.
