LOS ANGELES --- The Dodgers placed starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy on the 10-day disabled list with a flareup of right knee patella tendinitis and optioned pitcher Ross Stripling to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, while recalling outfielder Trayce Thompson and pitcher Brock Stewart.
Manager Dave Roberts said he expected McCarthy to be able to start in 10 or 11 days. McCarthy left a May 27 two-hit shutout after six innings with knee soreness and said then it has bothered him sporadically all season.
"I think if you look at [Sunday], the first and third inning were good," Roberts said.
