Makes third straight start McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.

Impact McCarthy found himself in the starting nine for a third straight game in right field, while Pavin Smith shifted to first base in place of Christian Walker. McCarthy has hit safely in all three games since being called up, going 6-for-13 with a double, four RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored. It looks like he and Smith will share right field for the time being.

Gets second straight start McCarthy started in right field and went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a stolen base, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Impact Called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday, McCarthy started two consecutive games in right field and is 5-for-9 with three RBI. McCarthy, who started the year in the majors before being optioned with a .425 OPS, told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that he did nothing different at Reno. The major difference was getting more at-bats in the minors, and in the few opportunities he had with Arizona, he was trying to do too much. It's unclear if he's taking over for a slumping Pavin Smith, but the Diamondbacks may ride McCarthy's hot streak.

Collects two hits in win McCarthy started in right field and went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

Impact McCarthy was called up earlier in the day and got the start in right field against a right-hander, which is normally a spot for Pavin Smith. It's unclear if the right field depth chart changed, or if this was chance to give a breather to Smith, who has a .326 OPS over the last 12 games.

Singles, scores in loss McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Padres.

Impact McCarthy made his first start of the season, slotting in for right fielder Pavin Smith. The lefty-hitting outfielder got the chance amid a team-wide batting funk that didn't get much better Sunday. The 1-3 Diamondbacks are last in MLB with a .129 batting average and 15 hits through four games. Other than the ninth innings of the first and fourth game, Arizona's offense produced three runs over 34 innings.

Headed for roster spot McCarthy is projected to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster as a backup outfielder, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty-swinging McCarthy can play all three outfield positions, offers a speed element for manager Torey Lovullo, and played well enough to earn a spot. After a 1-for-3 with a stolen base and run scored as the starting center fielder Sunday, McCarthy is 10-for-30 with a home run, triple, double, four RBI, three stolen bases and five runs scored over 12 Cactus League games.

Homers in loss McCarthy went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk in the loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

Impact The outfielder singled and scored in the third inning before hitting a round tripper off lefty reliever Tony Watson in the seventh. The long ball was his second of the year, both of which have come in his last seven games. Over that stretch, he is 4-for-15 with three extra-base hits and a stolen base.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Makes second straight start McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Padres.

Impact McCarthy walked, stole second and came around to score on a Nick Ahmed single during Arizona's six-run third inning. It was a the second consecutive start for the lefty-hitting outfielder, who was part of Tuesday's near no-hitter by San Diego lefty Blake Snell. The steal was the first for McCarthy, who had double-digit steals over three full minor-league seasons, including a career-high 29 in 2021. He's started four of the six games since being called up from Triple-A Reno and will be in the outfield mix through the end of the season. That could become an everyday job for McCarthy if the Diamondbacks move Pavin Smith to first base full time in place of the 30-year-old Christian Walker (.673 OPS).
