McCarthy update
Brandon McCarthy underwent an MRI on his right elbow/forearm on Saturday and the initial diagnosis was inflammation and some fluid in the area. There is no apparent damage to the ligament. The Rangers are discussing the correct way to treat the injury and are expected to have something more definitive on Sunday.

Well, the fact that the ligament is still intact is good news, but the Rangers still don’t seem to have a real clue what the problem is.
I admit, I know very little about sports injuries like this, but fluid and inflammation could probably mean a number of things – and could also linger for a quite awhile, too.
Hopefully the Rangers medical staff will figure this out soon, becuase both AJ Murray and Luis Mendoza have been getting creamed this spring by the opposition.
