McCarthy is
starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday against the Mets.
ANALYSISMcCarthy was originally scheduled to have the day off versus left-hander
Sean Manaea, but he will now be called upon to fill in for
Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed), who was a late scratch. McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances.
