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.

Impact McCarthy filled in for rookie Alek Thomas, who made a splash early after being brought up but is hitting .136 over the last 13 games. Like Thomas, McCarthy has hit a rough patch after initial success following a call-up. He entered Tuesday's contest on a 1-for-14 skid.

Involved in offense McCarthy started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact McCarthy tripled in a run in the second inning and came home on Geraldo Perdomo's triple two batters later. In addition to the extra-base hits, McCarthy also made a couple of nice catches, one of which prevented additional runs. He's started seven of eight games since being called up a week ago, mostly slotting in at right field while Pavin Smith has bounced between right field, first base and DH. The game appears to have slowed down for McCarthy in his second stint in the majors this season. He's batting .333 (9-for-27) with three walks, three extra-base hits, six RBI, six runs and a stolen base during his seven-start run.

It looks like he and Smith will share right field for the time being.

Gets second straight start McCarthy started in right field and went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a stolen base, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Impact Called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday, McCarthy started two consecutive games in right field and is 5-for-9 with three RBI. McCarthy, who started the year in the majors before being optioned with a .425 OPS, told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that he did nothing different at Reno. The major difference was getting more at-bats in the minors, and in the few opportunities he had with Arizona, he was trying to do too much. It's unclear if he's taking over for a slumping Pavin Smith, but the Diamondbacks may ride McCarthy's hot streak.
