LOS ANGELES -- The shorthanded Dodgers rotation will finally get a lift Sunday, when veteran right-hander Brandon McCarthy makes his 2016 debut against the Colorado Rockies, manager Dave Roberts said before Friday nights game. The news came on a day when the team placed outfielder Joc Pederson and three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw?on the disabled list.McCarthy will be making his return from Tommy John surgery, after suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament in April 2015. It was welcome news for a Dodgers club that has dealt with injuries to the starting staff for much of the season.We kind of sped it up a bit because of the circumstances, Roberts said of McCarthys return, but Brandons excited to get back, and we expect him to pitch well on Sunday.McCarthys scheduled return Sunday was somewhat surprising, given that his most recent start was a five-inning effort for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Monday.Roberts was initially asked for the latest on McCarthys rehab, and after explaining that he would start Sunday, Roberts was asked to clarify where.Here, Roberts said, smiling. Hes going to start for the L.A. Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. And hes a full go.McCarthys return comes amid a first half of the season in which the theme for the team has been pitchers being added to, rather than removed from, the injured list. In addition to McCarthy and Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brett Anderson?and Alex Wood currently sit on the DL.Kershaw, who has a mild disk herniation in his back, was feeling considerably better after undergoing an epidural, according to Roberts.I think that, you know, everyone uses that word depth as just a standard line, but it really has played out that way, Roberts said.dddddddddddd. Without it, I dont know where wed be. Guys have had to step up certainly. But weve really tapped into starting pitching depth. ... It is nice to get one of our guys coming back. Hopefully we get more of that.McCarthy, who signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Dodgers in December 2014, was 3-0 with a 5.87 ERA in four starts last season before his injury. Roberts said that, while Kershaws injury might have slightly accelerated McCarthys return, the Dodgers are confident he can perform.For the Dodgers, who remain in contention at 45-37 despite the injuries, having any options at all probably feels like a luxury.I think with the circumstance with what happened to Kersh, we realized that we had some options, Roberts said. In talking to Brandon and figuring out where hes at ... things kind of fell in line with his start date. Were looking forward to Brandon being here. Hes the best option we have.Pederson injured his non-throwing shoulder in the Dodgers 6-5 victory Tuesday after crashing into the center-field wall while chasing down a drive off the bat of Brewers slugger Chris Carter. Pederson collapsed after making the catch and later?was escorted off the field.The Dodgers activated right-hander Bud Norris, acquired on Thursday in a five-player trade with the Atlanta Braves, to start in Kershaws place Friday. Norris got the win after pitching six shutout innings, allowing two hits and a walk and striking out eight in a 5-0 win over Colorado.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
