Jake McCarthy - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Stays hot Tuesday McCarthy went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Tuesday's performance was McCarthy's fourth straight multi-hit and multi-RBI game Tuesday and his fifth in the last six games. He came up to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth with his team down a run and won the game for the Diamondbacks on a walk-off single that scored two. Over his last 17 games, McCarthy is batting .460/.477/.730 with 19 RBI, though he's driven in 15 runs in his last six games. He's become one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last couple of weeks and seems to have supplanted Alek Thomas in the Diamondbacks' outfield pecking order for now.

Impact McCarthy hit two-run blasts in the fifth and seventh innings to help the Diamondbacks pull off a blowout win.

McCarthy isn't known for his power, having never hit more than eight homers in a single season. He's at six homers, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 stolen bases and a .298/.371/.441 slash line through 99 contests in 2024.

Logs three hits in loss McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

Impact McCarthy got the start against a left-hander while both Corbin Carroll and Alex Thomas opened the game on the bench. McCarthy's two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning was a response to Philadelphia's four runs in the top of the frame. He later singled home a run in the ninth. McCarthy's swung a hot bat the last two weeks, going 19-for-41 (.463) with one home run, seven RBI, eight runs and three stolen bases. He's hit well against lefties this season, posting a .359/.419/.462 line against southpaws.

On bench for first game of twin bill McCarthy is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Impact McCarthy had started in eight of the Diamondbacks' previous nine games, but he still looks to be the club's fourth outfielder behind Corbin Carroll, Lourdes Gurriel and Alek Thomas. Though he's a left-handed hitter, McCarthy is slashing .360/.422/.467 over 83 plate appearances against southpaws this season and should continue to be a regular part of the starting nine when the Diamondbacks face lefties. McCarthy may have to settle for more of a part-time role, however, when the Diamondbacks face righties and have all their key outfielders available.

The outfielder finished with his second straight three-hit contest and his third multi-hit performance over his past five games. Over that span, McCarthy is batting a blistering .545 (12-for-22) with a double, two triples, five runs and two thefts.

Seeing steady at-bats McCarthy will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Though McCarthy doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role, Arizona has now been able to squeeze him into the lineup for five straight games while giving four days off to Joc Pederson, three to Alek Thomas and one apiece to Corbin Carroll and Lourdes Gurriel during that stretch. All of the absences for Pederson, Thomas and Carroll have come against left-handed pitching, so McCarthy at least looks to be viewed as a short-side platoon option, even though he's a left-handed hitter himself. McCarthy has helped his case for holding down a semi-regular role by going 9-for-18 with a stolen base, four runs and three RBI over the previous four contests.

Five hits in win McCarthy went 5-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Impact McCarthy was a thorn in Pittsburgh's side all night, reaching in all five of his trips to the plate while also sparking a two-run inning for Arizona in the fifth with a leadoff single. It marked the outfielder's first five-hit game of the season and he brought his season average up from .269 to .285 with the performance. For the month he's batting .317 (13-for-41) with three RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. However, he's also recorded just three extra-base hits since June 16.
