McCarthy went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy's taking advantage of a regular spot in the lineup and giving fantasy managers an unexpected boost in the stolen-base category. The outfielder, who swiped bags in two consecutive games, has stolen six (caught once) over the last 21 contests. It helps that's been hitting, as he boasts a .299/.356/.388 slash line during his 21-game run.

McCarthy went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been busy on the basepaths since taking over as Arizona's starting left fielder, attempting a steal in three straight games and going 2-fof-3. Since being called back up in mid-July, McCarthy is slashing .333/.400/.467 through 50 plate appearances with four of his five stolen bases on the year, in addition to six doubles, three RBI and eight runs scored.

Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said McCarthy will get the "lion's share" of the available playing time in left field following the trade of David Peralta to the Rays on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
That likely means the lefty-hitting McCarthy will be in the lineup against righties and could be subject to replacement by Jordan Luplow against southpaws. McCarthy has been highly productive since being recalled earlier in July, going 13-for-39 with three walks, six doubles, three RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored over 12 games. It should be noted that McCarthy had a similar initial surge when recalled in late May before being sent back down to Triple-A.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was the only Arizona batter to get beyond first base in six innings of shutout ball from Atlanta starter Ian Anderson. In the ninth, McCarthy added an RBI single. The outfielder has three multi-hit efforts in eight games since the All-Star break, batting .333 (9-for-27) in that span. He's up to a .263/.315/.432 slash line with four steals, three home runs, 12 RBI, 24 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple in 128 plate appearances. With David Peralta traded to the Rays on Saturday, McCarthy is in line for a boost in playing time, though it's unclear if he'll move into an everyday role in left field or if he'll platoon with Jordan Luplow.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy started for the third time in four games since the break, and since the start of that stretch he is 5-for-12 (.417) with a walk, two doubles, a stolen base and four runs scored. The lefty-hitting outfielder could soon replace David Peralta, who turns 35 in August and is an ideal trade candidate.

McCarthy will start in left field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
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.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-2 win against Washington on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy doubled in the fourth inning and singled home a run, stole second and scored as part of a four-run sixth. The 24-year-old has logged two of his three thefts in July and is slashing .300/.368/.500 with four doubles in 20 July at-bats.
