Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will reportedly miss the World Baseball Classic and is in danger of missing opening day due to a broken hamate bone in his right wrist, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
It’s unclear how the 25-year-old Carroll sustained the injury.
The news comes as a massive blow to both Team USA and the Diamondbacks. Carroll was likely to be one of Team USA’s starting outfielders throughout the World Baseball Classic. With Carroll sidelined, Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton could be in line for more playing time during the event.
It’s an even bigger loss for the Diamondbacks, who have gotten two fantastic seasons from Carroll since he made his major-league debut in 2022. After a bit of a down year in 2024, Carroll bounced back with a .259/.343/.541 slash line in 2025. That performance was good enough to send Carroll to his second All-Star game, win him a Silver Slugger and help him finish sixth in the MVP voting.
