MILWAUKEE -- The D-backs made a last-minute injury substitution to their roster for the National League Wild Card Series, replacing outfielder Jake McCarthy with third baseman Jace Peterson.

McCarthy suffered a right oblique strain while taking batting practice and Dr. Gary Green, Major League Baseball¡¯s medical director, confirmed the injury after communicating with the evaluating physician.

While McCarthy wasn¡¯t expected to start in the outfield, the D-backs had hoped to utilize his tremendous speed on the bases as a pinch-runner or late-inning defensive replacement.

Peterson was acquired by the D-backs from Oakland at the Trade Deadline, but hit just .183 over 106 plate appearances with Arizona.
