25-year old righty starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy is almost ready to rejoin the Rangers’ starting rotation and they really need the help. McCarthy has started 5 games in R+AAA ball on his rehab assignment and he is 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP. McCarthy has pitched in 88 games (34 starts) in his major league career and he is 12-19 with a 4.58 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. He can’t get back to Texas soon enough with the pitching staff they currently have.
