Jake McCarthy - Logs another stolen base McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 win over Milwaukee. Impact McCarthy, who went 11 games without a successful attempted steal, stole his second bag in as many days and is up to 23 for the season. Getting on base was an issue during the drought; McCarthy batted .186 and walked once (.222 OBP) during the 11-game stretch. He could lose playing time when Lourdes Gurriel (calf) returns, which could happen this weekend. When Gurriel is activated off the injured list, the choice of a third outfielder for manager Torey Lovullo would come down to McCarthy or another left-handed bat, Pavin Smith, who has a 1.526 OPS over the last 10 games.
