JAKE MCCARTHY NEWS

Extends hit streak to seven McCarthy went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco.

Impact McCarthy singled twice and extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with one walk, one triple, two home runs and six RBI. This has been a much better version of McCarthy seen in April, and it looks like he'll stick with the Diamondbacks even when Corbin Carroll (wrist) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

On base in four straight McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Miami.

Impact McCarthy put the Diamondbacks on the board, delivering a run with a second-inning triple to tie the game at 1-1. It was his fifth consecutive start since being called up from Triple-A Reno and fourth straight game getting on base. McCarthy's first stint this season in the majors was marked by an inability to get on base (.170 OBP), but with Corbin Carroll (wrist) on the mend over the next couple of weeks, McCarthy should get plenty of opportunities to show that earlier performance was a fluke.

Homer, steal in loss McCarthy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact McCarthy got his first homer of the season in his 17th game, and he also picked up his second steal. The outfielder has settled into a strong-side platoon role in right field in the absence of Corbin Carroll (wrist). McCarthy and Randal Grichuk look set to share the position, but McCarthy has the platoon advantage, though he has struggled in the majors this year. He's batting .100 with two extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored over 57 plate appearances so far, including going 2-for-9 over three games since returning to the majors.

Starts in right field McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact McCarthy started in right field for both games since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, when Arizona placed Corbin Carroll (wrist) on the 10-day injured list. McCarthy is a potential threat to steal bases, if he can do that with any regularity. During a stint with Arizona earlier this season, he didn't do that, going 3-for-41 (.073) with a .170 on-base percentage. McCarthy performed well at Reno -- he always does -- recording 12 steals with a .401 OBP over 49 games.

Recalled Tuesday The Diamondbacks recalled McCarthy from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact The 27-year-old was demoted to Reno in late April after batting .073 (3-for-41) through 14 games, but he'll receive another chance in the majors with Corbin Carroll landing on the injured list with a fractured wrist. McCarthy has been productive at Triple-A this season with 12 steals, a homer and a .314/.401/.440 slash line in 237 plate appearances, and he could be a factor in Arizona's outfield since Carroll's absence will leave a lot of at-bats up for grabs.

Set for promotion McCarthy is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact While the move isn't official just yet, McCarthy will be promoted to take the place of Corbin Carroll (wrist), who is expected to land on the 10-day injured list. McCarthy will presumably operate as a bench bat after hitting just .073 with three RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored during his first big-league stint of the 2025 campaign, which ended April 19.

Sent down to minors The Diamondbacks optioned McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact McCarthy is a dreadful 3-for-41 (.073) at the plate this season and had been displaced on the center field hierarchy by Alek Thomas. He'll head to Reno, where he will play every day and hope to get back on track offensively. Thomas will be the Diamondbacks' primary center fielder.

Back in action Friday McCarthy (hand) will start in center field and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Impact McCarthy has been limited this week by a sore hand as a result of a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's game versus the Brewers, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Friday's series opener. The 27-year-old is just 3-for-33 at the plate so far this season.

Impact It partly explains why McCarthy is out of the lineup for a third straight day Thursday in Miami, although the 27-year-old has not been used as an everyday player so far this season. Lovullo plans to get McCarthy back into the lineup at some point during the team's weekend series against the Cubs. Alek Thomas is in center field and batting seventh for the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
