McCarthy went 1-for-3 with three RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was productive despite generating only one hit. He stole second after walking in the first inning, scored Joc Pederson on a fielder's choice in the third frame and plated Pederson again in the fourth on a sacrifice fly before hitting an RBI triple in the sixth. McCarthy's pilfer was his 10th of the campaign, and his fifth of June. He's slashing .279/.365/.409 through 180 plate appearances.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the right-handed Chris Flexen starting for Chicago, McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field. McCarthy had started in five of the D-Backs' previous six games, so it's likely Friday's absence is nothing more than a day off.

McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Jose Suarez slated to start on the mound for the Angels, the lefty-hitting McCarthy will step out of the lineup. Randal Grichuk will fill the open spot in right field while batting fifth.

McCarthy went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy put the cap on Arizona's six-run second inning with a two-run shot, his first homer in 16 games. The outfielder is batting .282 and has not been an easy out (.368 OBP) while getting regular work due to Alek Thomas (hamstring) sidelined. Thomas had a setback in his rehab in May and re-started baseball activities last week. He could begin a rehab assignment in the coming days and return by the middle of the month.

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 is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo will give two of the team's key lefty-hitting regulars in McCarthy and Joc Pederson the day off. Randal Grichuk will check in for McCarthy in right field and will bat fifth.

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 is starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was originally scheduled to have the day off versus left-hander Sean Manaea, but he will now be called upon to fill in for Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed), who was a late scratch. McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances.

McCarthy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
