Carroll batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco.
Carroll batted leadoff for the first time this season, as Ketel Marte was held out of the starting lineup. It was a tweak to an offense that has struggled to score of late -- just 15 runs over the last seven games. Carroll did his part by getting on base twice and reaching scoring position following his stolen base, but the Diamondbacks extended their scoreless streak to 17 innings. The steal was Carroll's fifth in the last eight games and 34th of the season.
Carroll went 1-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.
Carroll has logged a steal in four of his last five games, giving him 33 thefts on the year. He had gone four contests without an RBI entering Monday before plating the Diamondbacks' opening run in the sixth inning. The outfielder is slashing .281/.360/.538 with 21 home runs, 58 RBI, 77 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples over 102 contests.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Plays role in win
Rotowire
Carroll went 2-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored and two steals in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.
Carroll sustained a shoulder injury and was removed from Thursday's loss to the Mets. The Diamondbacks feared the worst at that moment, but testing yielded positive news, and the outfielder was back in the lineup Friday. It looks like a fantasy crisis has been averted, but the shoulder -- the same one that was operated on two years ago -- has flared up twice in the last eight days.
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: In lineup after shoulder scare
Rotowire
Carroll (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting second Friday versus the Pirates.
Carroll has exited two different games in the last eight days with right shoulder discomfort, including Thursday's series finale against the Mets, but an MRI taken Friday ruled out any structural damage and he's good to go for the Diamondbacks' final three-game set before the All-Star break. The 22-year-old budding star boasts a .290/.365/.559 slash line with 18 homers, 46 RBI, 24 steals and 61 runs scored through 83 games this season.
The strength and stability in Carroll's shoulder is "fine" after he exited Thursday's game against the Mets, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Carroll immediately left the game grabbing at his shoulder after a swing and miss in the seventh inning. He underwent surgery on the same shoulder two years ago and experienced discomfort in the area last week, so there was rightful concern. He's set to undergo imaging Friday, which should provide a more detailed diagnosis, but the initial reports are positive.
