McCarthy started in right field and went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was called up earlier in the day and got the start in right field against a right-hander, which is normally a spot for Pavin Smith. It's unclear if the right field depth chart changed, or if this was chance to give a breather to Smith, who has a .326 OPS over the last 12 games.

McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno and will start in right field Friday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was optioned to Reno in late April, but he's recently been traveling with the big-league club as a member of the practice squad. He appeared in 13 games for Arizona prior to the demotion and hit .120/.185/.240 with a 42.9 percent strikeout rate.

McCarthy was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy won an Opening Day roster spot but didn't do much with his opportunities, hitting .120/.185/.240 while striking out in 12 of his 28 plate appearances. He's no longer needed now that fellow outfielder Jordan Luplow (oblique) is back from the injured list.

McCarthy started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy, who gave primary center fielder Daulton Varsho a break for the day, homered in his first plate appearance in the second inning. This was the fourth start in 13 games for McCarthy, a reserve outfielder who offers some measure of speed.

McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy made his first start of the season, slotting in for right fielder Pavin Smith. The lefty-hitting outfielder got the chance amid a team-wide batting funk that didn't get much better Sunday. The 1-3 Diamondbacks are last in MLB with a .129 batting average and 15 hits through four games. Other than the ninth innings of the first and fourth game, Arizona's offense produced three runs over 34 innings.

McCarthy is projected to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster as a backup outfielder, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-swinging McCarthy can play all three outfield positions, offers a speed element for manager Torey Lovullo, and played well enough to earn a spot. After a 1-for-3 with a stolen base and run scored as the starting center fielder Sunday, McCarthy is 10-for-30 with a home run, triple, double, four RBI, three stolen bases and five runs scored over 12 Cactus League games.

McCarthy went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk in the loss to the Giants on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder singled and scored in the third inning before hitting a round tripper off lefty reliever Tony Watson in the seventh. The long ball was his second of the year, both of which have come in his last seven games. Over that stretch, he is 4-for-15 with three extra-base hits and a stolen base.

McCarthy started in center field and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy filled in for Ketel Marte, who was getting a rest day. McCarthy, who has played sporadically, has a four-game hit streak dating back to Sept. 10. He should continue to making about three or four starts per week the rest of the season.
