Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll joins 20 home run club with huge dinger vs. Padres..
Corbin Carroll has now hit 20 or more homers in each of his three MLB seasons and the struggling Diamondbacks have won four straight games..
The Arizona Diamondbacks were hoping to bounce back this season after a disappointing 2024 campaign. Arizona failed to make the playoffs last season after reaching the World Series in 2023. This year the team has struggled to find its footing in the highly competitive NL West. And even though there’s plenty of season left, the Diamondbacks are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline.
Despite the grim outlook in Arizona this year, Corbin Carroll continues to shine. The All-Star outfielder went deep on Friday night against the division rival San Diego Padres. His 20th home run of the season gave the Diamondbacks a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning, per MLB on X.

Leading off the fifth, Carroll slapped a 93 mph four-seamer from Stephen Kolek over the left field wall for an opposite field homer. With the solo shot, Carroll joined the 20-home run club in 2025. He’s now hit at least 20 homers in each of his three full seasons in the majors.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, when he won Rookie of the Year honors, Carroll has established himself as a threat both at the plate and on the basepaths. He stole 54 bags in his debut season and followed that up with 35 swipes last year.
Despite Carroll’s efforts, as well as strong campaigns from Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor, the team is just 34-34 on the season. Arizona is 6.5 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. However, they’re also trailing the Padres and the San Francisco Giants in the division.
Making matters worse, the pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries. The Diamondbacks lost ace Corbin Burnes to season-ending Tommy John surgery earlier in June. The Cy Young winner had looked strong in 11 starts after joining the team over the offseason and helping Arizona lead the league in Corbins.
Promising closer Justin Martinez is also done for the year after injuring his UCL ligament. He joins fellow Arizona reliever A.J. Puk and starter Jordan Montgomeery on the injured list.
Banged up and struggling, contending teams are preparing to strip the Diamondbacks for parts at the deadline. Suarez and Naylor are drawing interest from clubs seeking pop from a corner infield position.
The Texas Rangers could find themselves in a similar position as the curse of the 2023 World Series continues.
