The Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the handful of teams in the National League who are vying for the final Wild Card position.
Sitting at 77-68 right now, the Diamondbacks are currently taking on the Kansas City Royals. In something of a thriller, the Diamondbacks won their series opener against the Royals by a score of 5-4.
The game on Monday was tied 0-0 going into extras, but then both teams exploded on offense.
Before the Royals game on Tuesday, the D-backs announced a last-minute Corbin Carroll scratch.
Corbin Carroll Scratched From D-backs Lineup on Tuesday
Per multiple reports, Corbin Carroll has been scratched from the Diamondbacks lineup on Tuesday against the Royals.
Per @UnderdogMLB, here is the refurbished lineup:
Updated D-backs 9/8: “L. Nootbaar DH K. Marte 2B G. Moreno C G. Perdomo SS N. Arenado 3B T. Troy CF T. Tawa RF I. Vargas 1B R. Waldschmidt LF C. Burnes SP”
It’s a big day for Arizona, as Corbin Burnes has been activated off the 60-day IL, which is very exciting! Burnes hasn’t pitched since Mid-2025, after he underwent Tommy John Surgery.
Looking at all the reports, it appears that the reason for Carroll being scratched has not been revealed.
It will be interesting to see what the reason for his absence tonight is.
