Jake McCarthy Coming Back Up, Dominic Fletcher Sent Down
2 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks are planning to recall outfielder Jake McCarthy from Triple-A Reno after a recent hot stretch at the plate on the farm, according to a source. To make room, the team optioned outfield prospect Dominic Fletcher To Reno. McCarthy hit just .143 (9-for-63) with one long ball in 22 games before being sent down in April. In his last eight games with Reno, he's going 17-for-37 (.460) with two doubles and two homers. Fletcher, the team's No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline, provided an early boost after initially being called up, but he's gone 6-for-36 (.167) with 10 K's on the team's recent road trip. The 25-year-old McCarthy is the favorite to start in center once again and will be a popular waiver-wire pickup in deep-mixed leagues if he's still available.
