According to sources, McCarthy or Alek Thomas will likely be traded during the offseason, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks would experience a cost savings by moving one of these arbitration-eligible center fielders and using a younger player as the backup. McCarthy has been the more dangerous hitter, while Thomas is considered the better glove. Among the potential replacements are Blaze Alexander, Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa. Jordan Lawlar, who is blocked at shortstop by Geraldo Perdomo and didn't handle third base well during a September cameo in 2025, has played a handful of games in center field during winter ball and is also an option.

McCarthy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
This was McCarthy's first homer since Aug. 19 versus the Guardians. He hit .194 (12-for-62) over 21 games between long balls, including just 3-for-18 (.167) in his last seven contests. The outfielder has produced a lackluster .207/.251/.343 slash line with four homers, 20 RBI, 18 runs scored and six stolen bases over 214 plate appearances in the majors this year, a massive step down from hitting .285 with a .749 OPS in 2024.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in each of the last five games, the left-handed-hitting McCarthy will bow out of the lineup while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Tim Tawa will check in for McCarthy in left field and will bat seventh.

McCarthy went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy had gone just 1-for-16 over his previous five games. The outfielder has filled a strong-side platoon role down the stretch as the Diamondbacks' primary option in left field. He's up to a .209/.255/.335 slash line with three home runs, 19 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven doubles, four triples and six stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy appears to have emerged as a strong-side platoon player in left field, but he'll give way to Jorge Barrosa on Sunday even with the Twins sending a righty (Bailey Ober) to the hill. Since the start of September, McCarthy is hitting .261 with seven RBI.

McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in Monday's 11-5 loss to San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy put the Diamondbacks on top early with a bases-clearing triple in the top of the second inning, but Arizona pitching was unable to protect the lead. McCarthy started in left field for the fourth straight game against a right-hander and is 2-for-12 with six RBI in those starts. He's expected to remain the primary left fielder with Lourdes Gurriel (knee) on the injured list and lost for the rest of the regular season. McCarthy is slashing .196/.246/.325 with six steals, three home runs, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 52 games.

McCarthy started in left field and went 1-for-2 with two RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy's bases-loaded fielder's choice in the second inning plated the Diamondbacks' first run, and then he added a run-scoring single in the fourth. He's expected to serve as the primary left fielder against right-handers with Lourdes Gurriel (knee) done for the season, leaving Jorge Barrosa to see most of the opportunities against left-handed pitching.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has four multi-hit efforts over his last five games, and he's also recorded three stolen bases in that span. His homer Tuesday was his first since July 1 versus the Giants. The outfielder remains in a limited role as a fourth outfielder, as he hasn't produced consistently for much of the year. He's at a .209/.267/.351 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and six steals across 43 contests.
