June 24 (UPI) -- Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is hopeful that his current stint on the injured list is of the short-term variety, the All-Star told reporters.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday night at a postgame news conference that Carroll sustained a chip fracture in his left wrist. Carroll was hit in the wrist by a 91.4-mph fastball in the eighth inning of a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday in Toronto.
"I don't have too great of an understanding of what it is," Carroll said. "I know it hurts. Hoping for a shorter term [injured list stint]. I've never experienced a bone break before, so I'm still just gathering information, and [we'll] see where we're at Tuesday."
Carroll was at the plate facing a 1-2 count when Blue Jays relief pitcher Justin Bruihl tossed in the sinker. The pitch came high and inside before drilling Carroll's wrist. Carroll immediately let out a scream before walking to first base. He was removed from the game in the middle of the inning and hasn't played since.
Initial X-rays did not show a broken bone in the area, but a follow up MRI revealed the extent of the damage.
