Tallies eighth stolen base
McCarthy went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
McCarthy singled in a run in the second inning and stole his eighth base of the season five frames later after reaching base on a single. He remains on the strong side of a platoon playing primarily in left field, and he has at least one hit in eight of his last 11 appearances. In that span, McCarthy has gone 10-for-30 with 10 RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases.

Not in lineup Thursday
McCarthy is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Pittsburgh.
Analysis
The Pirates are going with a left-handed opener in Mason Montgomery before turning things over to a righty bulk reliever in Carmen Mlodzinski. McCarthy could enter mid-game once Mlodzinski comes in, but he'll begin the contest on the bench.
