The Arizona Diamondbacks face ongoing challenges in their playoff pursuit due to significant injuries affecting key players. Catcher Gabriel Moreno is sidelined with a fractured finger, and outfielder Corbin Carroll is recovering from a wrist injury that initially raised concerns about his absence. Remarkably, Carroll has shown rapid progress, recently participating in a minor league game just two weeks after sustaining a chip fracture in his wrist.

During a simulated game, Carroll exhibited impressive hitting, prompting manager Torey Lovullo to express surprise at his quick recovery. Despite missing Carroll's impact, the Diamondbacks remain close in the Wild Card race, currently 12.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Their recent struggles, marked by six losses in eight games, highlight the need for Carroll's return to bolster their offensive lineup.
