Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Wednesday’s 6-4 loss to Colorado.
After tripling and scoring the game’s first run in the opening inning, Carroll cut Arizona’s deficit to 6-4 in the eighth with his 18th homer of the year and the 100th of his MLB career. Carroll has now gone deep in back-to-back contests after hitting just one home run in his prior 18 contests. Overall, Carroll is slashing .243/.338/.482 with 75 runs scored, 57 RBI and 16 stolen bases across 512 plate appearances this year.
Kelly (8-10) took the loss Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Four of the runs charged to Kelly came in the fourth inning, capped by a Brett Sullivan three-run homer. He’d later give up a two-run blast to Zac Veen in the fourth. While the long ball hurt Kelly earlier this season, he’d been doing a better job of keeping the ball in the park coming into Wednesday’s outing — he allowed just one homer over 16.1 innings in his previous three starts. Kelly’s ERA now sits at 5.11 through 22 starts (125 innings) this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 82:53 K:BB. He’ll look to bounce back his next time out, currently slated to come on the road against the Red Sox.
Perdomo (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday’s game versus the Rockies.
Perdomo was lifted from Monday’s game and sat out Tuesday because of left knee discomfort, but he feels well enough to give it a go in Wednesday’s series finale. He’s sporting a .934 OPS across the past two weeks for the Diamondbacks.
Love is slated to suit up for Thursday’s preseason game in Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
While rookie third-round pick Carson Beck played QB for over half of last Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, Love was kept on the sideline with the rest of the Cardinals‘ starters. Considering Love was the third overall pick in this year’s draft, his higher standing comes as no surprise, but coach Mike LaFleur relayed Tuesday that the first-team offense will play one or two drives Thursday.
Coach Mike LaFleur said Tuesday that Brissett and the rest of the Cardinals‘ starters will play one or two possessions during Thursday’s preseason game at Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
LaFleur held out Arizona’s starters in last Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game versus the Panthers, but Brissett and the rest of the first-team offense are slated to get some run this week. Brissett will likely be throwing passes to the Cardinals’ top skill-position talents, including rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love, WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride.
The Cardinals do not intend to trade Sweat (knee), Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Rumors about Sweat’s potential departure from the team were swiftly shut down by general manager Monti Ossenfort on Monday. Between the star defensive end’s minor knee injury and the Cardinals’ projected standing in the NFC West for 2026, many thought Sweat would be a prime trade candidate as the team tries to recoup some capital and build for the future. However, Ossenfort’s comments cast doubt on that possibility, and it therefore appears the star pass rusher is set to play out the 2026 season in Arizona.

PHOENIX (AP) Brett Sullivan hit a three-run homer in the second inning and the Colorado Rockies, despite walking 10 batters, held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Wednesday.
Sullivan connected on a shot down the right-field line to cap a four-run inning against Arizona starter Merrill Kelly.
Zac Veen, in his first game of the season, added a two-run homer in the fourth for the Rockies. The 2020 first-round pick was called up earlier in the week. The Rockies won consecutive road games for the first time since June 1-2 at the Los Angeles Angels. That was also Colorado’s previous road series win.
Ryan Feltner (5-6) went five innings for the win. He gave up seven hits and two runs, walking three and striking out two.
Jordan Romano pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
Kelly (8-10) gave up six hits and six earned runs in five innings.
Corbin Carroll hit his 100th career home run, and 18th of the season, an opposite-field shot to left-center off lefty Brennan Bernardino in the eighth. Earlier, the Arizona All-Star hit his 14th triple of the season, twice as many as any other player has. His 57 career triples lead all active players.
The Diamondbacks stranded 15 baserunners, including the bases loaded in the fifth and sixth. In the sixth, Gabriel Moreno struck out looking in an at-bat that saw three of plate umpire Emil Jiménez’s calls overturned – two called strikes that were well out of the strike zone, and the final pitch was changed to a strike.
Of the 10 walks, only one Diamondback scored – on a bases-loaded walk.
Rockies: Off Thursday. LHP Kyle Freeland (3-10, 6.63 ERA) was set to starts Friday in San Francisco against Giants RHP Landen Roupp (7-11, 4.22).
Diamondbacks: Off Thursday. RHP Brandon Pfaadt (6-1, 3.36) was scheduled to start opposite Braves LHP Chris Sale (12-7, 2.20) on Friday in Atlanta.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Rookie Noemie Brochant had a season-high 24 points, Alyssa Thomas scored nine of her 16 points in the fourth quarter, and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Los Angeles Sparks 94-87 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Phoenix trailed 81-78 with 4:56 left in the fourth quarter before closing on a 16-6 run.
Thomas made a layup with 49.6 seconds left for an 88-84 lead and added two free throws after on the Mercury’s next possession for a six-point lead. DeWanna Bonner sealed it by making four straight free throws down the stretch.
Dearica Hamby and Rae Burrell each scored 19 points for Los Angeles (12-20). Nneka Ogwumike had 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
Kahleah Copper added 18 points and Bonner finished with 11 for Phoenix (13-22). Brochant was 10 of 13 from the field to help the Mercury shoot 52%. Thomas also had seven rebounds and nine assists.
Phoenix guard Kelsey Plum did not play against the team that traded her a little over a week ago. Plum was limited to 14 minutes in the Mercury’s 95-75 loss to Washington on Sunday due to left calf tightness.
Mercury: At Portland on Sunday.
Sparks: At New York on Thursday.

Love is slated to suit up for Thursday’s preseason game in Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
While quarterback and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck logged more than one half of last Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, Love was kept on the sideline with the rest of the Cardinals‘ starters. Considering Love was the third overall pick in this year’s draft, it comes as no surprise, but coach Mike LaFleur relayed Tuesday that the first-team offense will play one or two drives Thursday. As such, Love is poised to make his pro debut this week.

Bowman’s roster spot opened up after fellow tight end Kenny Yeboah (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Bowman is a third-year undrafted free agent out of Rutgers who has yet to participate in an NFL game. Yeboah’s season-ending issue, as well as the absence of Tip Reiman (ankle), likely prompted the Cardinals’ front offense to address the preseason depth at tight end.

PHOENIX (AP) Kyle Karros hit a two-run homer before leaving the game following a collision with a teammate, Tomoyuki Sugano threw six solid innings and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
The D-backs fell to 64-57 as they fight for National League playoff position in a tight race. They’re currently in a three-way tie with the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres for the final two wild-card spots.
Karros hit his game-tying shot in the sixth off D-backs lefty Mitch Bratt that made it 2-all. In the bottom of the inning, he had to exit the game after colliding with shortstop Ezequiel Tovar while both players were trying to field a ground ball.
Karros appeared to hit his head and looked dazed while he sat on the ground for a few minutes, but the third baseman was eventually able to walk off the field. Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said postgame that Karros was in concussion protocol.
Colorado’s Hunter Goodman led off the seventh with a triple to the right-center gap and Mickey Moniak brought him home on a sacrifice fly for a 3-2 lead.
Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 11th save of the season in 14 chances, including five in seven chances while pitching for the Rockies.
The D-backs took a 2-0 lead in the first after Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte both hit homers. Carroll’s long ball was his 17th of the season while it was Marte’s 21st.
Sugano gave up two runs on six hits, striking out five.
Bratt had a scoreless streak of 14 innings before Karros’ two-run homer. The left-handed rookie gave up two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings, striking out four.
The D-backs will start RHP Merrill Kelly (8-9, 4.88 ERA) on Wednesday vs. Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (4-6, 5.71)
