Seattle native Corbin Carroll will miss the World Baseball Classic after breaking the hamate bone in his right hand during batting practice, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press.

Here are the Mariners playing in the World Baseball Classic

Carroll, an Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder, will have surgery Wednesday and miss significant time during spring training, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the injury has not been announced by the team.

It is not known if Carroll, 25, will return in time for opening day. He had been expected to play for Team USA in the WBC.

Carroll was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. He hit .259 with 31 home runs and stole 32 bases last season. He led the majors with 17 triples.

Carroll’s injury was first reported by MLB.com.

Carroll attended Seattle’s Lakeside High School and helped the Lions reach two Class 3A state tournaments, including finishing as the state runner-up during his freshman season in 2016. Arizona selected him with the 16th overall pick in the 2019 draft.
