McCarthy was included on the updated projected roster compiled by Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy was not part of Gilbert's initial projection, but Randal Grichuk's lingering ankle injury -- he hasn't played a game yet -- could impact his availability for Opening Day. McCarthy is 8-for-32 with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and two stolen bases over 12 Cactus League contests.

McCarthy was noticeably absent from the Diamondbacks' projected Opening Day roster from Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base Friday, has been a contributor the last two seasons. He stole 23 bases in 2022 then 26 last season. The 25-year-old outfielder now appears to be on the roster bubble. The offseason additions of Joc Pederson and Randal Grichuk (ankle), plus the re-signing of Lourdes Gurriel, makes it a crowded outfield. Arizona can also use Jace Peterson (wrist) as a depth outfielder in a pinch.

McCarthy was removed from the Diamondbacks' roster ahead of their NL Wild Card Series matchup against Milwaukee on Tuesday due to an oblique injury, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy suffered the injury during batting practice ahead of Game 1 and won't be eligible to return in the NLDS should the D-backs advance. Jace Peterson will join the active roster as McCarthy's replacement.

McCarthy went 1-for-1 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 11-1 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy didn't start the game but was one of three players to enter during the blowout loss, as manager Torey Lovullo wanted to preserve some regulars for this weekend's series against the Cubs. McCarthy was making his second appearance since being recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

McCarthy was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Reno, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has been a disappointment at the major-league level this season, but he boasts a .360/.416/.594 batting line with nine homers and 15 steals in 45 games at Triple-A. He just earned his second straight Pacific Coast League Player of the Week award and could draw some starts in the Diamondbacks' outfield down the stretch. Pavin Smith was optioned to Reno in a corresponding roster move.

McCarthy was optioned Monday to Triple-A Reno, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second demotion of the year for McCarthy, who has racked up 26 stolen bases but carries a rough .245/.325/.331 batting line across 291 plate appearances. Kyle Lewis will fill his spot on the Diamondbacks' major-league roster ahead of Monday's series opener at Coors Field in Colorado.

EDGE Analysis
McCarthy has gone 5-for-10 with three walks and three stolen bases over his last four games, but he carries a disappointing .255/.332/.334 slash line in 279 total plate appearances this year. Tommy Pham, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will canvas the Arizona outfield Wednesday.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy registered a pair of steals, upping his season total to 25 in 81 games. That's two more than he had last season in 99 games. The steals were his first in nine games, as the outfielder was mired in a 3-for-20 slump during the previous eight contests.

McCarthy is not in the lineup Thursday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield as the Diamondbacks take on the Giants and left-handed opener Scott Alexander. The left-handed-hitting McCarthy should be available off the bench.
