McCarthy is not in Thursday's lineup against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has been nominally atop the depth chart in right field recently, but he sits roughly half the time and will head to the bench for a second game in a row, this time with righty Tyler Mahle on the hill for the opposition. Jordan Luplow will start in right field and bat sixth.

McCarthy started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
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.

McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-6 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy, who provided an initial spark in his return from the minors, returned to the starting lineup after being held out Tuesday and Wednesday. The homer was the second of the season for McCarthy, who's batting .256 (10-for-39) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 11 games since his recall. He continues to share right field with Pavin Smith, who served as the designated hitter Friday.

McCarthy will sit Tuesday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy sits for just the second time in 11 games since his return from Triple-A Reno. He posted an .881 OPS in the first seven games of that stretch but went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over the last two contests. Pavin Smith will start in right field Tuesday.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy found himself in the starting nine for a third straight game in right field, while Pavin Smith shifted to first base in place of Christian Walker. McCarthy has hit safely in all three games since being called up, going 6-for-13 with a double, four RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored. It looks like he and Smith will share right field for the time being.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
