We are begging good hitters to stop breaking their hamate bones. Carroll is set to undergo surgery on the hamate bone today. Gilbert says Carroll will miss “significant time” this spring. It sounds like he’s potentially in line to start the season on the injured list, and he will certainly miss the World Baseball Classic. Jorge Barrosa figures to be more involved in the early-season outfield plan if Carroll misses enough time to push his return past the start of the season. Given the D-backs’ lack of outfield depth, they team might want to consider bringing back Randal Grichuk or adding a different free agent from a group that still includes Michael Conforto, Tommy Pham, Starling Marte and Mike Tauchman.

Barrosa returns to Arizona’s outfield mix as a September call-up after spending the last few weeks back in the minors. The 24-year-old has gone 4-for-36 with four RBI in 15 games this season at the highest level.

Barrosa heads back to the minors with Pavin Smith returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-36) with four RBI in 15 games this season at the highest level.

Barrosa is up to provide outfield depth while Alek Thomas is on the bereavement list.

The Diamondbacks needed room on the active roster for Ketel Marte (hamstring), so the D-Backs optioned Barrosa back to the minors. The 24-year-old could be back at some point as a depth option in 2025.

Jorge Barrosa started over Thomas against a lefty on Tuesday, which wasn’t surprising, but also again versus a righty yesterday. Following a hot start, Thomas has been unexceptional of late, hitting .243/.300/.324 in his last 11 games. Barrosa, though, is only 3-for-15 with a 5/0 K/BB since his callup.

The 24-year-old drew a start in center field and batted ninth against Mets’ left-hander David Peterson on Tuesday evening. He got the Diamondbacks on the board with a run-scoring double off of Peterson in the fifth inning, then drove in the team’s final run with a ground out in the ninth. He’s just 2-for-12 (.167) with three RBI in his limited action with the Diamondbacks.

Barrosa, not top prospect Jordan Lawlar, gets the call to the majors ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays in the wake of Jake McCarthy’s demotion to Triple-A Reno. The 24-year-old outfielder figures to platoon with Alek Thomas in center field moving forward.

Henry will likely be one of the first arms up for Arizona when they need help in the form of a multi-inning southpaw. Kessinger also has a chance to earn time as a utility option.

Barrosa went 1-for-7 in five days with the Diamondbacks.
