LOS ANGELES -- Perusing the Dodgers disabled list, there are a pair of pitchers working their way back to varying degrees, and a pair of players whose 2017 seasons have concluded.
Brandon McCarthy starts for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday night, in Game 3 of the Quakes’ first-round California League playoff series, tied 1-1. McCarthy is expected to pitch five innings in his third rehab start, looking to rebound from blister issues that have sidelined him since late July.
Scott Kazmir hasn’t pitched in the majors all season with a hip injury, and will pitch in relief for Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, expected to pitch three innings in relief.
