Upcoming Surgery and Uncertain Recovery Timeline
Carroll is scheduled to undergo surgery on February 11 to address the fractured bone. While the team expects a lengthy recovery period, there is no clear indication yet whether Carroll will be able to return in time for the start of the Major League Baseball season.
