McCarthy is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.
McCarthy had started in each of the previous two contests but will take a seat for the series opener against the Brewers. Lourdes Gurriel will cover left field and Adrian Del Castillo will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Monday.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Lifts third homer
Rotowire
McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Guardians.
McCarthy has four multi-hit efforts over his last five games, and he's also recorded three stolen bases in that span. His homer Tuesday was his first since July 1 versus the Giants. The outfielder remains in a limited role as a fourth outfielder, as he hasn't produced consistently for much of the year. He's at a .209/.267/.351 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and six steals across 43 contests.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Pilfers sixth base
Rotowire
McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.
The 28-year-old drew the start in left field and made the most of it, producing his first three-hit performance of the season. McCarthy picked up his sixth steal of the season and third of the month in this contest. The Arizona outfielder is mired in a part-time role but has played well since the All-Star break, batting .325 (13-for-40) with four runs scored and two RBI across 13 games.
McCarthy went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.
McCarthy extended his hitting streak to a modest three games, and it was just his second multi-RBI effort over 41 games this season. It's been a tough year for the speedy outfielder, who has a dismal .560 OPS in 2025 and was sent down to the minor leagues at one point, but he's fared a bit better at the plate recently in his part-time role. Over his last 15 outings (44 at-bats), McCarthy is hitting .273 with two home runs, three doubles, two RBI and two stolen bases.
Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Back on bench against righty
Rotowire
McCarthy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
The left-handed-hitting McCarthy had been included in the lineup in each of Arizona's last three games against right-handed starting pitchers, but his playing time could be more limited moving forward after the Diamondbacks welcomed Alek Thomas back from the bereavement list Sunday. In Monday's matchup with Tigers righty Troy Melton, Thomas will join an outfield that includes Corbin Carroll and Lourdes Gurriel, while Adrian Del Castillo will get the nod at designated hitter over McCarthy.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Playing time tailing off
Rotowire
McCarthy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
After Corbin Carroll was placed on the injured list June 24 due to a fractured wrist, McCarthy initially enjoyed a spike in playing time, but he's faded into more of a fourth-outfielder role of late. The lefty-hitting McCarthy will be on the bench for the fifth time in Arizona's last seven games, with two of those absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Extends hit streak to seven
Rotowire
McCarthy went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco.
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 the player seen in April (.073/.170/.098), and it looks like McCarthy will stick with the Diamondbacks even when Corbin Carroll (wrist) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Swats go-ahead homer
Rotowire
McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
McCarthy has hit safely in six straight games, going 6-for-21 (.286) with three extra-base hits in that span. Two of those knocks have been homers, including his go-ahead blast in the fourth inning of Tuesday's win. McCarthy has two homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 73 plate appearances, but he's still hitting just .136 overall despite his recent success at the plate.

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

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Homer, steal in loss
Rotowire
McCarthy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.
McCarthy slugged his first home run of the season in his 17th game with Arizona, and he also picked up his second steal. The outfielder has settled into a steady 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. McCarthy is batting .100 with two extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored over 57 plate appearances in the majors so far this season, so he'll likely have to settle for a spot in the bottom-third of the lineup until he raises his production.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Starts in right field
Rotowire
McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.
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 get on base with any regularity. However, he wasn't productive during a stint with Arizona earlier this season, going 3-for-41 (.073) with a .170 on-base percentage. McCarthy performed well at Reno -- as he typically does -- recording 12 steals with a .401 OBP over 49 games.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks recalled McCarthy from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
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 due to Corbin Carroll landing on the injured list with a fractured wrist. McCarthy has been productive at Triple-A this season with 12 steals, one home run and a .314/.401/.440 slash line in 237 plate appearances. He will start in right field Tuesday against the White Sox, and he could end up filling the strong side of a platoon at the position with the right-handed-hitting Randal Grichuk while Carroll is on the shelf.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Set for promotion
Rotowire
McCarthy is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Reno, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
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.
The Diamondbacks optioned McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
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 try to get back on track offensively. Thomas will now be the Diamondbacks' primary center fielder.

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

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Nursing sore hand
Rotowire
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that McCarthy still has hand soreness as a result of a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's game versus the Brewers, Jose M. Romero of MLB.com reports.
The injury partly explains why McCarthy is out of the lineup for a third straight game 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 will start in center field and bat seventh for the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Logs first hit
Rotowire
McCarthy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Baltimore.
McCarthy snapped an 0-for-24 skid to open the season with a fifth-inning double and scored his first run in 2025. He and Alek Thomas have largely shared center field, but both were in the lineup Wednesday, when McCarthy filled in for Lourdes Gurriel in left field. Both McCarthy (.038) and Thomas (.308) have 26 at-bats.
