The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned outfielder Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno after a disappointing start to the season. McCarthy has struggled significantly, tallying only three hits in 41 at-bats and has had diminished playing time as Alek Thomas took over the center field position. Meanwhile, Jorge Barrosa, likely to be recalled to fill the outfield spot, is performing well in Triple-A with a solid .295 average and three home runs. The news also comes amidst concerns over reliever A.J. Puk's injury as he is set for an MRI due to elbow inflammation.
