Hitting bench Wednesday McCarthy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact McCarthy has been poaching playing time in center field from Brenton Doyle of late, but the latter will get the starting nod Wednesday while he has the platoon advantage in his favor with lefty Brandon Williamson on the mound for Cincinnati. Unless he's used off the bench Wednesday, McCarthy will put a six-game hitting streak on hold.

Tallies fifth stolen base McCarthy went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Wednesday against the Astros.

Impact McCarthy began the season as Colorado's primary left fielder against right-handed pitching. However, he's only been in the lineup in four of Colorado's last eight games and has hit only .171 with three RBI and one run scored across 43 plate appearances. However, McCarthy has been aggressive on the basepaths when he's reached base, logging five stolen bases on six attempts.

Sitting in second straight game McCarthy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact The Rockies having right-handed starters in every game so far this season, but that hasn't been enough for the left-handed-hitting McCarthy to hold down a full-time role. After struggling to a .120/.185/.200 batting line through his first 28 plate appearances with the Rockies, McCarthy will stay on the bench for a second straight game. The slumping Jordan Beck (.268 OPS in 27 plate appearances) will also hit the bench, with both he and McCarthy having started to cede more opportunities to Troy Johnston and Edouard Julien.

Sitting versus righty McCarthy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Astros.

Impact McCarthy batted leadoff in each of the Rockies' first five games this season, but he's seen his role reduced since then. The outfielder has started only three of the past six tilts and has been down in the No. 8 spot in the batting order for all of those starts. Jordan Beck will cover left field for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Running often McCarthy stole a base and scored a run in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact McCarthy was out of the lineup for the first time this season, but he entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch runner. He immediately swiped second base and then came around to score the tying run. McCarthy is now 4-for-4 on the basepaths despite collecting only two hits across 19 at-bats to begin the campaign.

Receiving afternoon off McCarthy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact McCarthy will get a breather Wednesday after he had started in the outfield and batted leadoff in each of the Rockies' first five games, going a collective 2-for-18 with an RBI and three stolen bases over that stretch. The left-handed-hitting McCarthy could be left out of the lineup against southpaws, but he looks like he'll be a regular presence atop the batting order versus right-handed pitching.

Competing for starting role McCarthy is expected to compete with Mickey Moniak to start in right field to begin the 2026 season, Kyle Newman of the Denver Post reports.

Impact The Rockies acquired McCarthy this offseason, but the Rockies have a versatile roster, so he could face significant competition for the starting role in right field. Moniak may be the primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but Willi Castro, Troy Johnston and Tyler Freeman also figure to factor in at a corner outfield spot. Most importantly, McCarthy will need to bounce back as a hitter after posting only a .592 OPS across 222 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks in 2025.
