Taking seat Wednesday McCarthy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact McCarthy maintains a .369 on-base percentage over 86 plate appearances this season and has seemingly moved into an everyday role in the outfield while Alek Thomas (hamstring) is on the shelf, but the 26-year-old will hit the bench Wednesday. The Diamondbacks haven't indicated that the lefty-hitting McCarthy is dealing with an injury, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 6-2 win and is now on the bench Wednesday while the Reds bring a right-hander (Graham Ashcraft) to the hill. Pavin Smith will replace McCarthy in the Arizona outfield.

McCarthy, who went hitless in two at-bats, entered to play right field while Corbin Carroll moved to center. Thomas is expected to be evaluated Monday and may not be available for Monday's game against the Yankees. McCarthy is the most likely fill-in if Thomas is unavailable.

Not projected for roster McCarthy was noticeably absent from the Diamondbacks' projected Opening Day roster from Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.

Impact McCarthy, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base Friday, has been a contributor the last two seasons, most notably for his speed. He stole 23 bases in 2022 then 26 last season. The 25-year-old outfielder appears to be on the bubble. The offseason additions of Joc Pederson and Randal Grichuk (ankle), plus the re-signing Lourdes Gurriel, makes it a crowded outfield. Arizona can also use Jace Peterson (wrist) as a depth outfielder in a pinch.
