• Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Starts in right field

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  McCarthy started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's spring game against the Mariners. McCarthy and Alek Thomas are involved in a competition for a starting job in the outfield. Both saw action Sunday, with Thomas patrolling center field. McCarthy enters spring training ahead of Thomas on the depth chart after a strong season at the plate in 2024, when Thomas was dogged by injury and limited to 60 games between the majors and minors.

• Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Logs another stolen base

  09/20/2024 • By 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.
