PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks rookie Corbin Carroll left a game for the second time in a week with a right shoulder injury, and the All-Star outfielder will undergo imaging Friday.
Carroll was injured on a swing in the seventh inning against the New York Mets, immediately grabbing his upper arm. The rookie walked to the dugout and was met by Arizona's athletic trainer before heading into the clubhouse holding his arm.
Speaking after Arizona's 9-0 loss, manager Torey Lovullo said the team received encouraging news after Carroll exited based on initial tests on the strength of his shoulder.
"More positive than I was thinking after I saw what I saw," he said.
However, given Carroll's short- and long-term history with right shoulder issues -- he left a June 29 game against Tampa Bay after he felt something in his shoulder during his second at-bat of the game, and he had surgery on it in May 2021 -- he will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of what's wrong.
Lovullo said the team won't know how many games Carroll may miss, or if he'll go on the injured list, until those tests are done.
Carroll was voted a starter in next week's All-Star Game in his hometown of Seattle, but his status for the game is now in jeopardy. He's hitting .290 with 18 homers and 24 stolen bases for the NL West-leading Diamondbacks.
