The Diamondbacks are optioning Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno after a poor start to the season, hitting just three times in 41 at-bats, with Jorge Barrosa likely to be recalled to replace him in the outfield. McCarthy, coming off a strong previous season, has struggled despite making contact, leading to his diminished playing time, while Barrosa has performed well in Triple-A this year. Additionally, reliever A.J. Puk is scheduled for an MRI due to elbow inflammation, and Blaze Alexander has been activated from the IL but will also be sent to Reno.
