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.
