Clubs fourth homer
Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Analysis
Carroll also struck out three times, but he made up for it with a ninth-inning homer, going back-to-back with Ketel Marte to pad the Diamondbacks' lead. This was just the second multi-hit effort over Carroll's last eight games, a span in which he's 6-for-27 (.222) with two extra-base hits, two RBI and two stolen bases. The outfielder has been in the No. 3 hole over the last five contests, but it doesn't appear that move down from the two-spot has worked all that well yet. Overall, Carroll is batting .284 with a .947 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored, four stolen bases, six doubles and four triples over 27 games, so he still offers plenty of quality across the board.

Batting in No. 3 spot
Carroll batted third and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Analysis
Carroll batted third for the first time this season after serving as the No. 2 batter since Opening Day, which will be the arrangement going forward, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. As part of the tweak, Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo will tandem between batting leadoff and second, a couple of good on-base batters that could set up Carroll with more RBI potential. "I think (Marte) and Perdomo are fine, and it will continue to be fine," Lovullo said. "I just felt like Corbin third with the slug, with two guys potentially getting on base [ahead of him]." Carroll is slashing .296/.396/.580 with three home runs, four triples, six doubles, four steals, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored over 23 contests.
