Notably, this incident happened in the fifth innings of the game. Carroll left the field without contributing to the team’s score, which certainly put the D-Backs behind in the race to win. The game eventually finished in favor of the Rays, who also completed a series sweep over the Diamondbacks with a 7-1 win, proving their supremacy in the league this season.
Though Carroll could not score a run in this game, he has been solid since his first MLB game. In 110 games till now, the left fielder is averaging 0.284 with an OPS of 0.905. He has scored 73 runs and 21 home runs during this period, making himself a star performer. It also helped him get a $111 million deal, an eight-year contract.
Because of his contributions and consistent performances, Carroll has made it to the hearts of the fans. Now, when the player needs their wishes, fans have come in support with prayers for him.
