Delivers game-winning hit McCarthy went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and was hit by a pitch in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.
Impact McCarthy laid down a drag bunt with two outs in the ninth for his first hit of the season, which delivered the game-winning run. Arizona's primary right fielder had not swung the bat well and decided to take a chance when Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman dropped deep behind the bag. McCarthy went 1-for-10 during the season-opening four-game set in Los Angeles.

Plays Friday McCarthy (illness) started in right field and went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
Impact McCarthy returned to action after missing nearly a week with an illness. He stole his second base of the spring after swiping 23 bags over 99 games in 2022. The 25-year-old will get in some plate appearances in the final days of camp to get his swing timing down.

Impact McCarthy was away from the team for five days due to the illness. He was not part of the lineup in either of Thursday's split games, as manager Torey Lovullo decided to give him another day before an expected appearance Friday. The outfielder that was such a fantasy surprise in the second half of 2022 is 5-for-29 (.172) in Cactus League play.

Collects another steal McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
Impact McCarthy hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and later stole third as part of a double-steal with Christian Walker. The theft was McCarthy's fifth in his last seven games, and he's now gone 9-for-19 in his last four contests. The outfielder has shown strong contact-hitting skills in 2022, striking out at a 20.5 percent rate while batting .295. He's added modest power and good speed as well, logging eight home runs, 23 steals, 43 RBI, 53 runs scored and an .800 OPS through 341 plate appearances.

Keeps running Friday McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Giants.
Impact McCarthy finished an excellent September with 10 steals in 12 attempts across 23 games. He also hit .299 (26-for-87) this month, though he put up only four extra-base hits. The speedy outfielder's surge has him up to a .291/.353/.441 slash line with 22 steals, eight home runs, 41 RBI and 51 runs scored through 94 contests.

Two more steals McCarthy went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 extra-inning win over Houston.
Impact McCarthy, who stole his 20th and 21st bases of the season, is putting the final touches on a surprising fantasy year. He bounced between the majors and minors over the first half, but the outfielder is having a second half that put him on the radar. He's slashing .305/.372/.443 with 17 steals and 32 RBI over 58 games since the break. While the Diamondbacks showcased their outfield of the future this season -- Corbin Carroll, Alek Thomas and Daulton Varsho -- McCarthy emerged as a legitimate candidate for a starting job in 2023.

Hitless in return McCarthy started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 10-2 loss to the Astros.
Impact This marked McCarthy's first game back from the bereavement list. He reclaimed his normal No. 3 spot in the batting order, which has been his home the last 16 games. The news of the organization's demotion of Alek Thomas to Triple-A Reno shouldn't impact McCarthy too much. The club activated Pavin Smith from the IL to replace Thomas, giving the team the same amount of outfielders vying for starts.
