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.

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 isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a run, a walk and a strikeout Friday and will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. David Peralta, Daulton Varsho and Pavin Smith will start in the outfield from left to right.
