The Diamondbacks are optioning to Triple-A Reno, per the MLB.com . John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM in Phoenix that is likely to be recalled tomorrow to replace McCarthy in the outfield. McCarthy has had a terrible start to the season. DaQuan Jeffries Jersey He has managed just three hits in his first 41 at-bats. The 27-year-old is coming off arguably the best year of his career. McCarthy hit .285/.349/.400 with eight homers and 25 stolen bases through a career-high 495 plate appearances last season. He earned the Opening Day a signment in center field as a result. His slump quickly cut into his playing time, as has gotten the nod in center for five of the past six contests. A good contact hitter, McCarthy has continued to put the ball in play. He has only fanned in six of 47 plate appearances, but hes simply doing no damage. He only has one extra-base knock, a double, with five hard-hit balls (ones with an exit velocity of 95 MPH or better) on the season. McCarthy has never had imposing batted ball metrics, but the results became too much to ignore. He will be able to play every day in Reno rather than work in a fourth outfield role as he tries to get on track. Thatll seemingly afford an MLB opportunity for the switch-hitting Barrosa. He made a brief major league debut last season, collecting three hits in eight games. He hit .270/.360/.421 over 75 Triple-A games last season. The Venezuela native is out to a stronger start in 2025, batting .295/.362/.495 with a trio of homers over 105 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League. Elsewhere on the roster, reliever is scheduled for an MRI today ( ). The southpaw landed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with inflammation in his throwing elbow. The Snakes will presumably provide a return timeline after getting the imaging results. Puk has been brilliant since the D-Backs acquired him from Miami at last summers deadline. He owns a 1.78 ERA with 55 strikeouts through 35 1/3 frames in an Arizona uniform. On the other side of the injury ledger, Arizona activated from the 10-day IL and optioned him to Reno on Sunday. The 25-year-old infielder suffered an oblique strain early in his camp and only appeared in two Spring Training games. He played eight games on a rehab a signment. Rookie and speedster are splitting the second base playing time with on the injured list. Alexander would probably have gotten those reps had he been fully healthy throughout camp, but hell remain in Triple-A for the time being. Jason Williams Jersey
