Source: D-backs, Carroll agree

Outfielder Corbin Carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to an $111 million, eightyear contract that also has a club option for the 2031 season, according to a person familiar with the deal.

Carroll, 22, is one of baseball’s top prospects and among the betting favorites — according to FanDuel Sportsbook — to win Rookie of the Year this season. Carroll was very good in a late-season cameo last season, batting .260 with four homers and 14 RBIs in 32 games.

Walker hurt

St. Louis rookie outfielder Jordan Walker, one of the sensations of spring training, left Saturday’s game against Houston with a strained right shoulder suffered on a slide at second base in the first inning.

But manager Oliver Marmol said he was not “overly concerned. Day to day.” Marmol said he hadn’t intended to play Walker on Sunday and that Monday is a scheduled off day for the team. Walker will be reevaluated Sunday but it seems he will be able to play later in the week.
