Corbin Carroll DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll appears to have avoided any serious injuries after a incident earlier on Friday. The speedy outfielder was reportedly hit by a pitch while taking batting practice. Whenever that happens there is always immediate concern of injury, but Carroll appears to be fine. Carroll was reportedly playing catch later in the day, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about right now. Carroll has played over 300 games during the last two seasons and has been a significant factor in the D-Backs lineup. Fantasy managers saw Carroll's statistics take a dip last season, but he was still a productive player despite some offensive struggles.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is not in Sunday's lineup as the Diamondbacks look to clinch a four-game sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates regarding Carroll as this move may be injury related. As a result Pavin Smith will cover right field and bat in Carroll's typical leadoff spot. After posting a mere .202 AVG through the first half of the season, Carroll has begun to turn the corner in the second half carrying a much-improved .259/.352/.585 line. Since the start of September he has held a .243/.367/.432 line with four doubles, two triples, and two home runs. Smith is worth a look in DFS as he will face Milwaukee right-hander Frankie Montas who is carrying a 4.50 ERA into Sunday's tilt.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll belted a pair of home runs in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Rockies, walking once, driving in three runs, and scoring three times in the contest as well. The two round-trippers got him over the 20-homer threshold, giving him his second consecutive 20/20 season in his young career. The 24-year-old hit .212 with five home runs and 18 steals in 93 games prior to the All-Star break, but since then he's flipped a switch, hitting .274 with 16 home runs and 11 steals in 52 games. The reigning N.L. Rookie of the Year has turned it on at the right time for fantasy managers and now owns a .235-21-70-115-29 line on the season with a .329 wOBA and 110 wRC+.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll continued his August resurgence in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Mets, blasting two home runs and collecting five RBI in the contest. The first home run was the solo variety, but the second was a go-ahead and eventual game-winning grand slam in the eighth inning off of the Mets' struggling closer, Edwin Diaz. It was the second consecutive game with a homer for Carroll, and he's now slashing .267/.333/.656 in August with nine home runs, 21 RBI, and 27 runs scored in 24 games. The 24-year-old is a big reason the Diamondbacks have been winning more games lately, with 15 of his 17 home runs coming in the last two months alone. If there is something fantasy managers can complain about it is that the reigning N.L. Rookie of the Year has stolen just three bases since the All-Star break and 21 on the season, on pace to drastically underproduce after swiping 54 bags last season. With his bat coming to life at the right time, however, managers shouldn't feel too disappointed in using such a high draft pick on him.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had a good day at the plate in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. Carroll went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 24-year-old drove a fifth-inning Edward Cabrera fastball to the opposite field, placing it over the left-field fence for his 14th long ball of the season. Carroll's season numbers still leave a lot to be desired. However, he has picked things up in the second half of the season, slashing .252/.339/.612 with nine HR, 31 runs scored, 19 RBI, and three stolen bases in 103 at-bats. The lack of steals is disappointing, but fantasy managers can't complain too much given the amount of power Carroll has provided.
