McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was hit by two pitches during Wednesday's loss to the Giants, so the Diamondbacks will give him a recovery day during Thursday's series opener. Pavin Smith will fill in as Arizona's right fielder while batting sixth.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in a 10-5 win over the Mets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy singled, stole two bases then scored on a Christian Walker grand slam in the third inning and later singled and scored in the eighth. McCarthy was a late addition to the lineup when Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed) was scratched and made the most of a rare opportunity to face a left-handed starter despite now hitting 11-for-25 against lefties on the season. Since May 21, McCarthy has started only six of a possible 10 games but tallied four steals during that stretch.

McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances.

McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has two homers over 16 games in May, but he's collected just five hits over his last eight contests. The outfielder is up to two homers on the season while slashing .283/.357/.414 over 114 plate appearances. He's added three stolen bases, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, five doubles and a triple. Pavin Smith has been the biggest threat to McCarthy's playing time in right field lately, and Randal Grichuk is also in the mix to poach some at-bats versus southpaws.
