Jake McCarthy went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base, helping the Rockies to a 4-2 victory over Arizona on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
McCarthy had a pair of singles, bringing home a run with his first hit in the second. He also singled and stole second in the seventh for his eighth steal of the year. After a 4-for-29 start over his first 13 games, McCarthy has hit safely in 16 of his last 20 games (where he's had an at bat), and is hitting .368 (21-for-57) with two home runs and four steals during the stretch. He's up to .291 for the season with an .842 OPS and may be worth a flier in deeper leagues while he's hot.

Fantasy Impact

Over his last 15 games, he is hitting .375 (15-for-40), raising his average from .138 to his current .275 clip. He's slashing .275/.346/.507 with two homers, 14 RBI, and six stolen bases in 81 plate appearances while seeing most of his at-bats against righthanded pitching.

Fantasy Impact

The outfielder is now 6-for-8 on the season in stolen base attempts and is tied for ninth in the National League in that category. McCarthy has raised his batting average to .268 on the year as he has gone 11-for-27 (.407) over his last 10 games.
Jake McCarthy pinch-ran for Kyle Karros in the eighth inning, stole a base, and scored the tying run as the Rockies defeated the Blue Jays, 2-1, in 10 innings on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
McCarthy did not start for the first time this season, but he made an impact with his legs by stealing his fourth base of the season and scoring the tying run on an RBI single from Troy Johnston. McCarthy stayed in the game, but was pinch-hit for by Tyler Freeman when his turn came up in the top of the tenth. McCarthy is a perfect 4-for-4 in stolen bases, but he is just 2-for-18 at the plate in six contests this season. He's going to need to start hitting to remain in the Rockies' lineup.
