Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy left Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs with right knee tendinitis.
He's headed for an MRI. McCarthy started feeling discomfort in the fourth but scattered two hits and one walk over six shutout innings before getting the hook. If McCarthy lands on the disabled list, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Julio Urias would be candidates to replace him in the starting rotation.
In 46 2/3 innings pitched this year, McCarthy holds a 3.28 ERA, 22.0 percent strikeout rate, and 6.5 percent walk rate.
