PHOENIX – None of the three has pitched for the Dodgers in almost a month. But the door hasn’t been closed yet on injured starting pitchers Brett Anderson, Brandon McCarthy or Scott Kazmir.
Anderson had not pitched since Sept. 3 when he aggravated a blister on his index finger during a disastrous rehab outing with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga – he allowed six runs on nine hits in just two innings. But he pitched five strong innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing one run on a solo home run and three hits overall. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out five while throwing 54 pitches.
