Carroll, 24, was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 but struggled to the tune of a .231 average last season. Now, he's hitting .327 with the nine homers, 22 RBIs and four stolen bases. He's carrying a .404 on-base percentage.

Despite the D'Backs strong record, they are in fourth place in the National League West entering play on Thursday.

They'll be back in action on Thursday night against the Rays with first pitch coming at 9:40 p.m. ET. Drew Rasmussen will pitch for Tampa Bay while former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes pitches for Arizona.

Rasmussen has been off to an excellent start, going 1-1 with a microscopic 0.87 ERA. Burnes has gotten off to a slower start after signing with Arizona in the offseason.

He's 0-1 with a 4.64 ERA.
