The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Brandon McCarthy from the 10-day disabled list and optioned Brett Eibner to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for the right-hander on the active roster. McCarthy starts Monday against the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series at AT&T Park.
Eibner has appeared in five games (three starts) over three stints with the Dodgers. He’s gone 3-for-10 with one home run and two RBI during that span. The move leaves the Dodgers with 13 pitchers and 12 position players on their 25-man roster; including a four-man bench.
McCarthy was put on the DL on May 8, retroactive to May 5, due to left shoulder soreness.
