McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Monday's 5-0 victory versus San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy singled and stole second base in the fourth inning and walked before swiping another bag in the ninth. The latter theft helped produce a run, as McCarthy reached third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly. McCarthy has been a big help in the stolen-base department since returning from a stint in the minors July 11, recording 13 thefts on 14 attempts. He's also batting .322 with five home runs and 26 RBI over 44 games during that span.

McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 18-2 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy homered for a second straight game and has registered at least one RBI in nine of the last 12 contests. When the Diamondbacks called up Corbin Carroll on Monday, it seemed the move would cut into McCarthy's playing time, but the outfielder has started all three games since the rookie's arrival, moving around from left field to designated hitter to right field. DH is expected to be his primary home, but McCarthy can also spell any of the outfield starters.

McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and five RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy hit a two-run triple in the second inning and a three-run homer in the fourth to blow things wide open for the Diamondbacks' offense. The 25-year-old's playing time is at risk with top prospect Corbin Carroll in the majors, but McCarthy has at least one RBI in eight of his last 11 games. That productivity could lock him in as the designated hitter going forward. McCarthy is slashing .288/.349/.447 with five homers, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 14 doubles and two triples through 70 contests.

McCarthy started in center field and went 0-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 13-7 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy got the nod in center field, giving Alek Thomas a breather against left-hander Ranger Suarez. This marked the first game the Diamondbacks had all three of their budding outfield stars available -- Corbin Carroll, Thomas and Daulton Varsho -- but the uber-hot McCarthy's bat stayed in the lineup. Of note, Ketel Marte, who's been serving as DH for the past week after aggravating a hamstring injury, returned to second base Monday, so McCarthy should have a path to at-bats as the designated hitter.

McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy delivered the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth, continuing a strong run since he was given a regular spot in the starting lineup. He apparently learned to be a more patient hitter from his most recent time in the minors, dropping a 34.9 K% over his first two MLB stints this season to 11.1% since rejoining the Diamondbacks on July 11. McCarthy's settled in nicely, but one wonders how the callup of prospect Corbin Carroll will impact his opportunities. Any time in the outfield lost to Carroll could be made up as designated hitter, but Ketel Marte has been filling that role since he aggravated a hamstring injury.
