Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Optioned to Triple-A

McCarthy was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

He was losing out on playing time against right-handed pitchers since the return of Carson Kelly, which pushed Daulton Varsho to the outfield. The demotion will allow McCarthy to get everyday reps at Triple-A. He slashed .228/.282/.405 with three home runs, one steal and a 34.9 percent strikeout rate in 79 MLB at-bats.
