Arizona Diamondbacks scratch Corbin Carroll due to lower back discomfort
Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks removed outfielder Corbin Carroll from their lineup shortly before Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The team confirmed that Carroll was scratched due to low back discomfort. He was originally slated to bat fifth and start in right field but was replaced by Tim Tawa, while Ildemaro Vargas took over at first base. Carroll has dealt with several physical issues throughout September, including hip tightness that caused him to miss a game against the New York Mets last week. The outfielder will not be available for the Diamondbacks off the bench during Tuesday's matchup. Arizona enters the game in the middle of a three-game winning streak and remains in contention for a postseason spot. The team has not provided further details regarding the severity of the back injury or a timeline for his return to the field.
