Player Notes
August 28, 2008
Brandon McCarthy, in his second appearance of the season, worked six innings as he held the Angles to just two runs (one earned) in a no-decision.

Our View:McCarthy still has plenty of time to establish himself as being a big part of the Rangers plans next season as he will use the rest of this season as a tryout to prove that he is over the injuries that have dogged him the past couple of seasons. He is a worthy pickup if you are searching for some help in the rotation.
August 24, 2008
Brandon McCarthy lasted just four innings in his first start of the year Saturday, but he allowed just one run on three hits and four walks while striking out three.

Our View:It's not surprising that McCarthy's control was off. He should get better the next time out.
August 23, 2008
As expected, the Rangers recalled Brandon McCarthy from Triple-A Oklahoma Saturday. He will start tonight against the Indians.

Our View:McCarthy held a 3.41 ERA and 28/9 K/BB ratio in seven starts while rehabbing from a forearm injury. He could eventually be worth a fantasy roster spot, but take a wait and see approach for now.
August 23, 2008
Brandon McCarthy remains slated to start tonight against the Indians, according to the Star-Telegram.

Our View:It will mark his first appearance of 2008 as he has been out all season while dealing with severe inflammation of the right forearm. He is worth holding in deeper AL-only leagues, but fantasy owners should wait to see how he performs in his first game back before penciling him into the lineup.
August 19, 2008
Brandon McCarthy will come off the DL and start for the Rangers on Saturday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The right-hander has been out all season due to inflammation in his right forearm. He has gone 1-1 with a 3.41 ERA over seven minor league rehab outings.

Our View:McCarty made his big league debut in 2005, and we have to remind ourselves that he is still only 25. We're not expecting much down the stretch, but it would be nice if he showed us some hope for 2009.
