LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Monday activated Brandon McCarthy to start the series opener against the Giants, and to make room on the roster optioned outfielder Brett Eibner to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Eibner was called up just last Wednesday, one day after outfielder Andrew Toles tore his ACL. In Eibner’s second stint in the majors this season he was 2-for-5 with a home run and a walk in two games.
The home run on Saturday at Coors Field was Eibner’s first home run as a Dodger.
