Overview
- Manager Torey Lovullo said his gut feel is that Carroll will be ready for March 26, though the team has not made a final call.
- Carroll said he is pushing to be on the Opening Day roster as his rehab progresses.
- Recent milestones include low-intensity two-handed hitting off flips and the tee, plus taking fly balls as his right hand tolerates catching.
- A typical hamate recovery runs four to six weeks, and the club says it will wait if medical staff recommend caution to preserve his full-season health.
- Carroll has not played in Cactus League games since his Feb. 11 procedure, and how many spring at-bats he can log before the opener is still uncertain.
