Becomes primary left fielder Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said McCarthy will get the "lion's share" of the available playing time in left field following the trade of David Peralta to the Rays on Saturda...
Impact That likely means the lefty-hitting McCarthy will be in the lineup against righties and could be subject to replacement by Jordan Luplow against southpaws. McCarthy has been highly productive since being recalled earlier in July, going 13-for-39 with three walks, six doubles, three RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored over 12 games. It should be noted that McCarthy had a similar initial surge when recalled in late May before being sent back down to Triple-A.

Double and steal in loss McCarthy went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.
Impact McCarthy was the only Arizona batter to get beyond first base in six innings of shutout ball from Atlanta starter Ian Anderson. In the ninth, McCarthy added an RBI single. The outfielder has three multi-hit efforts in eight games since the All-Star break, batting .333 (9-for-27) in that span. He's up to a .263/.315/.432 slash line with four steals, three home runs, 12 RBI, 24 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple in 128 plate appearances. With David Peralta traded to the Rays on Saturday, McCarthy is in line for a boost in playing time, though it's unclear if he'll move into an everyday role in left field or if he'll platoon with Jordan Luplow.

Scores twice in win McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants.
Impact McCarthy started for the third time in four games since the break, and since the start of that stretch he is 5-for-12 (.417) with a walk, two doubles, a stolen base and four runs scored. The lefty-hitting outfielder could soon replace David Peralta, who turns 35 in August and is an ideal trade candidate.

Playing time on rise McCarthy will start in left field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Giants.
Impact The lefty-hitting McCarthy will pick up his third start in four games and could have a hold on a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching if he continues to acquit himself well at the dish. Since his July 11 promotion from Triple-A Reno, McCarthy has gotten on base at a .364 clip while contributing four doubles and two stolen bases in seven games.

Retreats to bench McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact McCarthy will head to the bench after he started in three of the Diamondbacks' last four games while going 4-for-12 with three doubles and a run scored. He looks to be Arizona's No. 4 outfielder behind Alek Thomas, David Peralta and Daulton Varsho, though McCarthy should still be able to pick up at least a couple of starts per week while he's up with the big club.

Swipes bag Monday McCarthy recorded a walk, a stolen base and a run in Monday's 4-3 win over the Giants.
Impact McCarthy pinch hit for Buddy Kennedy in the eighth inning, drawing a walk. He added a steal and scored on a Sergio Alcantara single, and that run ended up being the difference. McCarthy was called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday after hitting .333 with an .882 OPS in 16 games after he was sent down in mid-June. The outfielder has a .228/.291/.405 slash line with three home runs, nine RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals in 32 major-league contests, and he's likely to be limited to a depth role unless he can hit his way into more playing time.

Called up by Diamondbacks McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Impact McCarthy was sent down in mid-June, and he slashed .333/.397/.485 with two triples, six doubles, 13 runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases over 16 minor-league games following his demotion. He should serve as outfield depth for Arizona after Cooper Hummel was optioned to Reno.

Optioned to Triple-A McCarthy was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Impact He was losing out on playing time against right-handed pitchers since the return of Carson Kelly, which pushed Daulton Varsho to the outfield. This will allow McCarthy to get everyday reps at Triple-A. He slashed .228/.282/.405 with three home runs, one steal and a 34.9 percent strikeout rate in 79 MLB at-bats.

Losing out on playing time McCarthy remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Impact McCarthy had a semi-regular spot in the Arizona lineup to close out May, but he now finds himself on the bench for the eighth time in 12 games to begin June. Playing time is likely to be even harder to come by for McCarthy moving forward with Daulton Varsho expected to factor into the outfield and designated-hitter mix more frequently now that catcher Carson Kelly has returned from the 10-day injured list.

He continues to share right field with Pavin Smith, who served as the designated hitter Friday.
