Homer, steal in loss McCarthy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact McCarthy got his first homer of the season in his 17th game, and he also picked up his second steal. The outfielder has settled into a strong-side platoon role in right field in the absence of Corbin Carroll (wrist). McCarthy and Randal Grichuk look set to share the position, but McCarthy has the platoon advantage, though he has struggled in the majors this year. He's batting .100 with two extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored over 57 plate appearances so far, including going 2-for-9 over three games since returning to the majors.

Starts in right field McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact McCarthy started in right field for both games since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, when Arizona placed Corbin Carroll (wrist) on the 10-day injured list. McCarthy is a potential threat to steal bases if he can get on base with any regularity. However, he wasn't productive during a stint with Arizona earlier this season, going 3-for-41 (.073) with a .170 on-base percentage. McCarthy performed well at Reno -- as he typically does -- recording 12 steals with a .401 OBP over 49 games.

Recalled Tuesday The Diamondbacks recalled McCarthy from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact The 27-year-old was demoted to Reno in late April after batting .073 (3-for-41) through 14 games, but he'll receive another chance in the majors with Corbin Carroll landing on the injured list with a fractured wrist. McCarthy has been productive at Triple-A this season with 12 steals, a homer and a .314/.401/.440 slash line in 237 plate appearances, and he could be a factor in Arizona's outfield since Carroll's absence will leave a lot of at-bats up for grabs.

Set for promotion McCarthy is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact While the move isn't official just yet, McCarthy will be promoted to take the place of Corbin Carroll (wrist), who is expected to land on the 10-day injured list. McCarthy will presumably operate as a bench bat after hitting just .073 with three RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored during his first big-league stint of the 2025 campaign, which ended April 19.

Sent down to minors The Diamondbacks optioned McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact McCarthy is a dreadful 3-for-41 (.073) at the plate this season and had been displaced on the center field hierarchy by Alek Thomas. He'll head to Reno, where he will play every day and hope to get back on track offensively. Thomas will be the Diamondbacks' primary center fielder.

Back in action Friday McCarthy (hand) will start in center field and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Impact McCarthy has been limited this week by a sore hand as a result of a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's game versus the Brewers, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Friday's series opener. The 27-year-old is just 3-for-33 at the plate so far this season.

Nursing sore hand Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that McCarthy still has hand soreness as a result of a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's game versus the Brewers, Jose M. Romero of MLB.com...

Impact It partly explains why McCarthy is out of the lineup for a third straight day Thursday in Miami, although the 27-year-old has not been used as an everyday player so far this season. Lovullo plans to get McCarthy back into the lineup at some point during the team's weekend series against the Cubs. Alek Thomas is in center field and batting seventh for the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Logs first hit McCarthy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Baltimore.

Impact McCarthy snapped an 0-for-24 skid to start the season with a fifth-inning double and scored his first run of the season. He and Alek Thomas have largely shared center field to start the season, but both were in the lineup Wednesday, when McCarthy filled in for Lourdes Gurriel in left field. Both McCarthy (.038) and Thomas (.308) have 26 at-bats.

0-fer continues McCarthy went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-1 loss to Baltimore.

Impact McCarthy extended a hitless streak to start the season and is now 0-for-22. The results align with his underlying measures at Statcast, including zero barrels. McCarthy's experienced lows before and has come back, but the job share in center field may tilt toward Alek Thomas if the low-wattage bat continues.

Sitting again amid slump McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact McCarthy has yet to record a hit in 18 at-bats on the season, and a Statcast-measured .124 xBA suggests he's not merely a victim of some bad luck on balls in play. The 27-year-old's struggles have begun to cost him playing time, as he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in four games. Alek Thomas has a .950 OPS through five games and may have at least temporarily overtaken McCarthy as the Diamondbacks' preferred option in center field.

Out of lineup Saturday McCarthy is not in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

Impact McCarthy will take a seat against southpaw Mitchell Parker. Meanwhile, fellow left-handed-hitting Alek Thomas will start in center field and bat eighth Saturday. The pair have alternated center field duties over the Diamondbacks' past five games, suggesting that McCarthy and Thomas are slated to see about equal playing time moving forward.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Arizona lineup McCarthy is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Yankees.

Impact He started each of the first two games of the series but will yield to Alek Thomas in Thursday's series finale. McCarthy has now been in the lineup for four of the Diamondbacks' first seven games, matching the number of Thomas' starts.
