McCarthy was optioned Monday to Triple-A Reno, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second demotion of the year for McCarthy, who has racked up 26 stolen bases but carries a rough .245/.325/.331 batting line across 291 plate appearances. Kyle Lewis will fill his spot on the Diamondbacks' major-league roster ahead of Monday's series opener at Coors Field in Colorado.

McCarthy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has gone 5-for-10 with three walks and three stolen bases over his last four games, but he carries a disappointing .255/.332/.334 slash line in 279 total plate appearances this year. Tommy Pham, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will canvas the Arizona outfield Wednesday.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy registered a pair of steals, upping his season total to 25 in 81 games. That's two more than he had last season in 99 games. The steals were his first in nine games, as the outfielder was mired in a 3-for-20 slump during the previous eight contests.

McCarthy is not in the lineup Thursday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield as the Diamondbacks take on the Giants and left-handed opener Scott Alexander. The left-handed-hitting McCarthy should be available off the bench.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus Seattle.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Though most of the lefty-hitting McCarthy's off days come against left-handed pitching, he'll head to the bench Sunday while a right-hander (Luke Weaver) toes the rubber for Cincinnati. Dominic Canzone will pick up his first career start in right field in place of McCarthy, who is slashing .292/.414/.333 with four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in his first eight games out of the All-Star break.

McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases in a 5-3 victory versus Atlanta on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy capitalized on both of his singles in the contest, swiping second base following each hit. It was the sixth time this season that the speedy outfielder has stolen multiple bags in a contest, and he's up to 22 thefts overall, tied for eighth in the majors. McCarthy spent about a month in the minors early in the season following a slow start to the campaign, but he's been outstanding since his return, slashing .306/.382/.410 with a home run, 10 RBI, 22 runs and 20 thefts in 21 attempts over 43 games.

McCarthy is absent from the lineup Tuesday at Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield for the Diamondbacks as they face off against right-hander Bryce Elder. McCarthy is stuck in a 2-for-14 rut at the dish, though he has drawn five walks over that span.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI but was also picked off first base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy's threat as a speedster was on display, both good and bad, during the game. He beat out a two-out infield chopper in the fourth inning that plated two runs and tied the game. Later, with Arizona down a run, he led off the seventh with a walk and was picked off by Toronto reliever Nate Pearson. McCarthy told Ethan Diamandas of MLB.com that he didn't feel he was being over-aggressive and that the pickoff throw was perfectly timed. The outfielder is second on the Diamondbacks and tied for 12th in MLB with 20 steals.

McCarthy isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
After walking twice, scoring twice and stealing two bases during Friday's win, McCarthy will get a breather Saturday. His absence moves Corbin Carroll into right field, Lourdes Gurriel into left and allows Dominic Canzone to make his MLB debut as Arizona's designated hitter while batting seventh.
