Nearing return to defense
Manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Carroll (hand) is expected to play the outfield in games Wednesday or Thursday, likely in a backfield game, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Analyse
Carroll is making his third appearance of spring training Sunday at designated hitter, and he should be cleared to play the outfield after just a few more days. The 25-year-old underwent surgery in mid-February to repair the hamate bone in his right hand, but he's progressed quickly through his rehab program. Barring a setback, Carroll should be ready to start in right field Opening Day for the Diamondbacks.

Makes second spring appearance
Carroll batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against San Francisco.
Analyse
Carroll made his second Cactus League start, both coming as the designated hitter, following a one-month recovery from surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the outfielder will likely serve as the DH for Sunday's game, too, according to Bailey Leasure of Arizona Sports. Carroll is expected to get as many plate appearances as possible leading up to Opening Day.

Debuts Wednesday
Carroll served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 13-3 Cactus League loss to the Athletics.
Analyse
Using an ax-handle bat, Carroll grounded out, flied out and struck out in his Cactus League debut, which had been delayed while he recovered from surgery to repair a broken right hamate bone. He told Steve Gilbert of MLB.com that using the bat was an adjustment but added it was "manageable." The new handle is less painful than the bat Carroll would typically use, and the outfielder will have to work through that discomfort. He's expected to serve as the DH for a few more spring games before returning to the outfield in advance of Opening Day.

Cleared for spring debut Wednesday
Carroll (hand) will make his Cactus League debut as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter in Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analyse
Carroll is less than a month removed from surgery to remove a fractured right hamate bone, but he was cleared to resume swinging a bat by early March and has continued to ramp up his hitting progression without issue. The 25-year-old is being eased back in at DH but should be ready to play the outfield soon. Carroll is on track to be available for Opening Day.

Could make spring debut this week
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Carroll (hand) could make his Cactus League debut as soon as this week, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Carroll has made a swift recovery from surgery to address a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, an operation he had a little less than a month ago. If the outfielder does indeed get into Cactus League action later this week, he should be able to reach his goal of being ready in time for Opening Day.
