Jake McCarthy absent Monday for Arizona
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander James Paxton and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means
The left-handed hitting McCarthy will not start against a lefty pitcher on Monday night. Randal Grichuk will replace McCarthy in right field and hit sixth. Blaze Alexander will take over as the leadoff batter and serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks' implied total (4.75) is third-best in the majors on Monday, while the game total (10.0) is the highest of the day.
