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: 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: 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.

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: 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.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Not in Arizona lineup
Rotowire
McCarthy is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Yankees.
He started each of the first two games of the series but will yield to Alek Thomas in Thursday's series finale. McCarthy has now been in the lineup for four of the Diamondbacks' first seven games, matching the number of Thomas' starts.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Opens in center field
Rotowire
McCarthy started in center field and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.
McCarthy got the start over Alek Thomas with the Cubs sending left-hander Justin Steele to the mound in Thursday's season opener. McCarthy and Thomas will share the position and, since both bat from the left side, it won't be a true platoon. Thomas' glove, which is considered better than McCarthy's, could give him the edge for playing time in the long run.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Taking seat Friday
Rotowire
McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Heading to bench Friday
Rotowire
McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.
McCarthy is sitting Friday after a run of 14 consecutive starts, during which he posted a .211/.237/.211 slash line with no extra-base hits. Lourdes Gurriel (calf) is back in the lineup after being activated from the injured list while Corbin Carroll shifts to center field.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Logs another stolen base
Rotowire
McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 win over Milwaukee.
McCarthy, who went 11 straight games this month without a successful attempted steal, stole his second bag in as many days and is up to 23 for the season. Getting on base was an issue during the drought; McCarthy batted .186 and walked once (.222 OBP) during that 11-game stretch. He could lose playing time when Lourdes Gurriel (calf) returns, which could happen this weekend. When Gurriel is activated off the injured list, the choice of a third outfielder for manager Torey Lovullo would come down to McCarthy or another left-handed bat, Pavin Smith, who has a 1.526 OPS over the last 10 games.

Rotowire
McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-4 win over Colorado.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Bats second again
Rotowire
McCarthy batted second and went 0-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.
McCarthy worked a bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning to make it a 3-0 game. He's been the primary second spot batter since Ketel Marte (ankle) first sustained an injury that eventually landed him on the 10-day injured list. In nine games batting second since Marte's injury, McCarthy is hitting .325 (13-for-40) with two home runs, 12 RBI, three walks, one steal and eight runs scored.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Stays hot Tuesday
Rotowire
McCarthy went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Tuesday's game was McCarthy's fourth in a row with multiple hits and multiple RBI. He came up to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth with his team down a run and won the game for the Diamondbacks on a walk-off single that scored two. Over his last 17 games, McCarthy is batting .460/.477/.730 with 19 RBI. He's become one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last couple of weeks and seems to have supplanted Alek Thomas in the Diamondbacks' outfield pecking order for now.

This was his fifth multi-hit effort since July 30 -- over 11 games in that span, the outfielder has gone 15-for-36 (.417) with five extra-base hits and nine RBI.

He's at six homers, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 stolen bases and a .298/.371/.441 slash line through 99 contests in 2024.
