Corbin Carroll has elbow surgery, expects a mostly normal offseason
Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had surgery on his right elbow to remove loose bodies.
The elbow is on his non-throwing arm, and discomfort that began during the season had recently worsened.
The procedure will delay his offseason swinging program by about two weeks, pushing its start from November into December.
Carroll expects the rest of his offseason to be mostly normal.
He also dealt with a back issue and other minor injuries during the season, and says his back was a bigger concern than his elbow.
He hit 22 home runs and stole 21 bases in 2026, though his numbers were lower than the previous season.
Arizona will hope he is fully healthy and productive next season, as the team looks to return to the playoffs after missing them for three straight seasons.
