Carroll's ability to get on base and his slugging power make him a formidable presence at the plate. With his fielding percentage at 1.0, he is not only contributing offensively but also defensively, making him a key player to watch in this upcoming game against the Rox.

On the pitching front for the Diamondbacks, Eduardo Rodriguez has been solid with an ERA of 1.929 and a WHIP of 1.9286 over his recent outings. His strikeout rate stands at 7.713 per nine innings, showcasing his ability to keep hitters off balance.
