According to the Sports Xchange notes: RHP Brandon McCarthy, who is on the 60-day disabled list with forearm inflammation, will begin a throwing program Friday at the club's training facility in Surprise, Ariz. McCarthy is not eligible to come off the DL until May 29. (Updated 04/03/2008).
Injury Report
Elbow - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-June (Updated - 5/4/08)
Fantasy Analysis
McCarthy, who was projected to be in the Rangers' rotation, was 5-10 with a 4.87 ERA last year in 23 games, including 22 starts. He has immense potential so the Rangers will be cautious with him. Consider him nothing more than a deeper AL-only option at this point or a DL stashee to start the season. The fact the Rangers are not a contender makes it more difficult to bother with McCarthy in most leagues. (Updated 04/03/2008).
