LOS ANGELES — One day after having a momentary recurrence of the yips, Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right knee inflammation.
The knee-jerk reaction would be to assume this is a phantom injury, but McCarthy has in fact been dealing with knee tendinitis off and on for most of the season.
“There was a flare-up with his knee that he’s been dealing with,” manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s dealt with it all year.”
This is one of a series of roster moves made by the Dodgers on Monday.
