Jake McCarthy Stats

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned rookie outfielder Alek Thomas to Triple-A Reno after Sunday's game and reinstated outfielder Jake McCarthy from the bereavement list in a corresponding move. In his first 113 big-league games, Thomas has struggled with the lumber, hitting .231/.275/.344 with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 45 runs scored, four stolen bases and 74 strikeouts in 381 at-bats. He's been especially bad this month, going 7-for-55 (.127) with no homers, four RBI and nine strikeouts in 18 games. McCarthy was unavailable last weekend but should return to the starting lineup for the start of a series on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has hit a solid .288/.352/.446 with eight homers, 41 RBI, 49 runs and 19 stolen bases in 91 games in his second MLB season.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy stole two bases on Sunday, giving him nine on the season in 10 attempts. He went 1-for-3 at the plate with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. While McCarthy does not offer incredible upside in any other category, eight of his steals have come in his last 30 games, making him a potentially potent speed option down the stretch of the fantasy season. He has just three long balls this year, but if he can add any, that would make him very worthwhile as an add.
