The Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday placed Brandon McCarthy on the 10-day disabled list for a second time this season. That it came one day after McCarthy threw three wild pitches in a three-run second inning, and another in the third, raised some red flags.
The official diagnosis on McCarty is right knee tendinitis. Whereas Kenta Maeda’s hamstring tightness seemingly cropped up out of nowhere, McCarthy has dealt with the knee issue for the majority of the year.
It forced him to an early removal from a start last month after six efficient innings were in the books.
