McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy will head to the bench after he started in three of the Diamondbacks' last four games while going 4-for-12 with three doubles and a run scored. He looks to be Arizona's No. 4 outfielder behind Alek Thomas, David Peralta and Daulton Varsho, though McCarthy should still be able to pick up at least a couple of starts per week while he's up with the big club.

McCarthy recorded a walk, a stolen base and a run in Monday's 4-3 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy pinch hit for Buddy Kennedy in the eighth inning, drawing a walk. He added a steal and scored on a Sergio Alcantara single, and that run ended up being the difference. McCarthy was called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday after hitting .333 with an .882 OPS in 16 games after he was sent down in mid-June. The outfielder has a .228/.291/.405 slash line with three home runs, nine RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals in 32 major-league contests, and he's likely to be limited to a depth role unless he can hit his way into more playing time.

McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was sent down in mid-June, and he slashed .333/.397/.485 with two triples, six doubles, 13 runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases over 16 minor-league games following his demotion. He should serve as outfield depth for Arizona after Cooper Hummel was optioned to Reno.

McCarthy was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He was losing out on playing time against right-handed pitchers since the return of Carson Kelly, which pushed Daulton Varsho to the outfield. This will allow McCarthy to get everyday reps at Triple-A. He slashed .228/.282/.405 with three home runs, one steal and a 34.9 percent strikeout rate in 79 MLB at-bats.

McCarthy remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy had a semi-regular spot in the Arizona lineup to close out May, but he now finds himself on the bench for the eighth time in 12 games to begin June. Playing time is likely to be even harder to come by for McCarthy moving forward with Daulton Varsho expected to factor into the outfield and designated-hitter mix more frequently now that catcher Carson Kelly has returned from the 10-day injured list.

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 isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy went 2-for-6 with a double, two runs and three strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll get a breather Wednesday. 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 isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's series opener against Pittsburgh, but he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Pavin Smith will start in right field while Jordan Luplow serves as the designated hitter.

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.
