USA Roster Shuffle: Carroll Injury Shakes Up WBC
12 Feb
Summary
- Corbin Carroll injured his hamate bone, requiring surgery.
- Team USA seeks outfield replacement for the World Baseball Classic.
- Several players are considered potential replacements for Carroll.

Corbin Carroll's recent surgery to repair a broken right hamate bone has resulted in him being sidelined for several weeks. This injury is a significant setback for Team USA's roster ahead of the World Baseball Classic. The Diamondbacks' star outfielder, known for his 30/30 season and Silver Slugger award last year, leaves a substantial void. Team USA, assembling a formidable roster that includes players like Aaron Judge and Byron Buxton, must now find a suitable replacement in the outfield. The search includes considering players such as Kyle Tucker, Jackson Merrill, Cody Bellinger, James Wood, and Wyatt Langford, each bringing different strengths to the table. The possibility of Mike Trout rejoining the team, though unlikely due to insurance concerns, remains a talking point.
