McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Though most of the lefty-hitting McCarthy's off days come against left-handed pitching, he'll head to the bench Sunday while a right-hander (Luke Weaver) toes the rubber for Cincinnati. Dominic Canzone will pick up his first career start in right field in place of McCarthy, who is slashing .292/.414/.333 with four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in his first eight games out of the All-Star break.

McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases in a 5-3 victory versus Atlanta on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy capitalized on both of his singles in the contest, swiping second base following each hit. It was the sixth time this season that the speedy outfielder has stolen multiple bags in a contest, and he's up to 22 thefts overall, tied for eighth in the majors. McCarthy spent about a month in the minors early in the season following a slow start to the campaign, but he's been outstanding since his return, slashing .306/.382/.410 with a home run, 10 RBI, 22 runs and 20 thefts in 21 attempts over 43 games.

McCarthy is absent from the lineup Tuesday at Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield for the Diamondbacks as they face off against right-hander Bryce Elder. McCarthy is stuck in a 2-for-14 rut at the dish, though he has drawn five walks over that span.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI but was also picked off first base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy's threat as a speedster was on display, both good and bad, during the game. He beat out a two-out infield chopper in the fourth inning that plated two runs and tied the game. Later, with Arizona down a run, he led off the seventh with a walk and was picked off by Toronto reliever Nate Pearson. McCarthy told Ethan Diamandas of MLB.com that he didn't feel he was being over-aggressive and that the pickoff throw was perfectly timed. The outfielder is second on the Diamondbacks and tied for 12th in MLB with 20 steals.

McCarthy isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
After walking twice, scoring twice and stealing two bases during Friday's win, McCarthy will get a breather Saturday. His absence moves Corbin Carroll into right field, Lourdes Gurriel into left and allows Dominic Canzone to make his MLB debut as Arizona's designated hitter while batting seventh.

McCarthy went 0-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and two steals in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy's speed set up runs in the third and fourth innings. He led off both frames with a walk then stole second base before coming around to score. He has three steals over the last two games and reached the 20-steal mark in just 58 games. It's the second consecutive season with at least 20 thefts for McCarthy, who has a .377 OBP since returning to the majors May 26.

McCarthy is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Dominic Fletcher will start in right field and bat seventh versus the Mets and right-hander Carlos Carrasco. This is presumably a planned day of rest for McCarthy, who's delivered a .316/.373/.439 batting line with 16 stolen bases in 35 games since being recalled to the Diamondbacks' major-league roster in late May.

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCarthy had gone six games without a steal entering this contest. He's been pretty steady lately, going 27-for-83 (.325) over his last 25 games. The outfielder has a .254/.321/.367 slash line, 18 thefts, two home runs, 11 RBI and 24 runs scored over 197 plate appearances.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-6 with a triple, a walk, a run and an RBI between the first two games of the series in Anaheim, the lefty-hitting McCarthy will check out of the lineup with southpaw Reid Detmers on the bump for the Angels. Dominic Fletcher will replace McCarthy in right field.
