"It's not good," McCarthy said. "It's not what you want to hear at this point, but what can you do. It's frustrating because it's frustrating. I really don't care what the situation is. It's a pretty good kick to the gut."
McCarthy is 5-2 on the season for Texas and has shown flashes of the pitcher the Rangers thought they were getting when they traded for him three seasons ago.
"It's frustrating," GM Jon Daniels said. "I feel for him."
This will be McCarthy's fourth time on the disabled list in the past two seasons.
In other pitching news, Matt Harrison, who has been sidelined with a strained left shoulder, threw a bullpen session this afternoon and is expected to come off the disabled list. He's slated to start on Thursday against Toronto.
Also, Frank Franciso remains day-to-day with a sore shoulder. Jon Daniels has stated that he's been speaking with other teams about a possible deal from some bullpen help but wouldn't rule out the possibility of a starter if the right deal came along.
"I'm open to it," Daniels said. "It's something we'll look into, but it's easier said than done. My expectation is we'll go with the guys we have. If there is a quality guy available, we'll look into it, but it's easier said than done."
