Corbin Carroll was ruled out of the World Baseball Classic after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured hamate bone, clearing the way for Roman Anthony to take his spot. In his first season in the majors, the 21-year-old impressed with a .292/.396/.463 slash line and eight home runs across 303 plate appearances.
