Diamondbacks Send Jake McCarthy To Triple-A
2 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks optioned slumping outfielder Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and recalled third baseman Emmanuel Rivera from the minors in a corresponding move. McCarthy hit .283/.342/.427 with eight home runs, 43 RBI, 23 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 99 games for the D-backs in 2022, but he had gone just 9-for-63 (.143) with a double, triple, home run, three RBI, two stolen bases and 12 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances over his first 22 games this year. The 25-year-old could be back with the Snakes eventually, but he'll need to work out the kinks with his swing on the farm first. With McCarthy gone for the time being, Pavin Smith will most likely benefit with extra playing time.
