On December 23, 2006, McCarthy and minor leaguer David Paisano were traded to the Texas Rangers for John Danks, Nick Masset and Jake Rasner. [14] He endured an injury-plagued season in his first year for the Rangers (and his first full year as a starter) in 2007, most notably dealing with a stress fracture in his right shoulder blade that kept him sidelined for nearly 2 months. He finished the season with a 5–10 record with a 4.87 ERA in 22 starts. [13]

In 2008, as he developed inflammation in his right elbow during spring training. He began rehabbing between July and August and finished the season making 5 starts for the Rangers.

After being outrighted by the Rangers, [16] McCarthy signed as a free agent with the Oakland Athletics on December 14, 2010, for one year and $1 million. [17] As part of the starting pitcher rotation for the Athletics in 2011, McCarthy strengthened his mechanics and had his most productive major league season, starting 25 games and pitching five complete games. [18] He adapted his pitch repertoire to emphasize two-seam fastballs and cutters, which helped increase his ground-ball percentage and lower his home-run rate while developing control and limiting walks allowed. [19] McCarthy finished the year with the lowest FIP among American League starters. [20] He signed a one-year contract worth $4.275 million with the Athletics for the 2012 season, avoiding salary arbitration. [21]

McCarthy was the Athletics opening day starter for the 2012 season. On September 5, he took a line drive to the head off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. McCarthy subsequently underwent surgery for 2 hours to relieve cranial pressure after CT scans revealed he had suffered an epidural hemorrhage, a brain contusion, and a skull fracture. While he did not pitch again that season, he recovered well enough to join his teammates in the dugout as a spectator during their postseason run. [22] He was 8–6 in 18 starts for the Athletics in 2012. [13]

Arizona Diamondbacks

On December 7, 2012, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed McCarthy to a 2-year $15.5 million contract. [23] In June, while on the disabled list for continued shoulder problems, McCarthy experienced a seizure related to his head injury the previous year. He was placed on medication and expected to return to pitch as his shoulder allowed. [24] In his first season in the National League and with the Diamondbacks, McCarthy finished 5–11 with a 4.53 ERA and 2 complete games in 22 starts. [13] He started 3–10 with a 5.01 ERA in 18 starts for the Diamondbacks in 2014. [13]

New York Yankees

On July 6, 2014, the New York Yankees acquired McCarthy from the Diamondbacks in exchange for Vidal Nuño. [25] The Yankees had McCarthy resume the use of his cut fastball, which the Diamondbacks had him stop using, while decreasing the use of his sinker. [26] On September 17, 2014, he pitched an immaculate inning, striking out all three batters in the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, throwing only nine pitches, becoming the 77th pitcher to do so in the history of Major League Baseball. [27] In 14 starts for the Yankees he was 7–5 with a 2.89 ERA. [13]

Los Angeles Dodgers

On December 16, 2014, McCarthy and the Los Angeles Dodgers signed a four-year contract worth $48 million. [28] [29] However, on April 27, 2015, McCarthy was placed on the disabled list after he felt tightness in his right elbow in a start against the San Diego Padres and was diagnosed with a torn UCL. [30] He underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery on April 30. [31] In four starts before his injury, he was 3–0 with a 5.87 ERA. [32]

After a lengthy recovery and a few rehab starts in the minors, McCarthy rejoined the Dodgers on July 3, 2016, making his season debut in a 4–1 win against the Colorado Rockies. [33] In his first four starts he went 5 or more innings, won two games and pitched fairly effectively however on July 27 he allowed three runs in four innings and his next three starts after that he couldn't get past the fourth inning and walked five batters in each game, including five in 1+2⁄3 innings on August 13. [34] On August 14, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with stiffness in his right hip. [35] He thought his career might be in jeopardy but he rejoined the team on September 25 and allowed only two runs in 5+1⁄3 innings against the Colorado Rockies. [36] His last appearance of the season was a relief appearance against the San Francisco Giants on September 30. He allowed six runs on five hits and one walk without retiring a single batter. [37] He appeared in a total of 10 games for the Dodgers in 2016 (with nine starts), and was 2–3 with a 4.95 ERA. [34]

In 2017, McCarthy started the season in the rotation and won five of his first six decisions. [38] However, his season was beset with issues, he was placed on the disabled list in May after suffering a dislocated left shoulder while weight-lifting, [39] battled the yips in June [40] which led to another lengthy stint on the disabled list. [41] He pitched out of the bullpen at the end of the season. [38] Overall, in 2017, he was 6–4 with a 3.98 ERA in 92+2⁄3 innings over 19 games (16 starts). [38] After being left off the roster for the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Dodgers added him to the active roster for the 2017 World Series. [42] His only appearance in the series was in the 11th inning of Game Two. He allowed a two-run home run to George Springer of the Houston Astros, and was charged with the loss. [43]

Atlanta Braves

On December 16, 2017, the Dodgers traded McCarthy, Charlie Culberson, Scott Kazmir, Adrián González, and cash considerations to the Atlanta Braves for Matt Kemp. [44] Through the end of June with the 2018 Braves, McCarthy had a 6–3 record in 15 starts, with a 4.92 ERA. He did not pitch during July or in the first half of August, due to right knee tendinitis. On August 14, McCarthy announced his intent to retire at the conclusion of the 2018 MLB season. [45]

Front office career

On December 11, 2018, McCarthy was named a special assistant to the general manager in the Texas Rangers front office. [46]

Personal life

McCarthy is a minority owner of Phoenix Rising FC of the USL Championship. [47] McCarthy was instrumental in getting the name Phoenix Rising approved by the team's board because it sounded like a mixture of a European team name and an American mascot. [48]

Junior Flemmings Incident

Despite prior praise over his support of the LGBT+ community, [49] McCarthy was criticized in 2020 by Outsports writer, Alex Reimer, over his reaction to a homophobia controversy involving the Phoenix Rising FC, where the San Diego Loyal walked off the field in protest and forfeited a match after midfielder Junior Flemmings was accused of using a Jamaican homophobic slur against openly gay Loyal midfielder Collin Martin, which was not heard by the referee or any other player. [50] [51] [52]

McCarthy was accused of questioning the veracity of accusations made against Flemmings, suggesting in a direct message with another Twitter user that the Loyal, who forfeited a match against the Los Angeles Galaxy II in the days prior over the alleged use of a racial slur against a Black Loyal player, [53] [52] wanted to forfeit the match to begin with to continue making a statement on social justice. [52]

In later statements, McCarthy said he was "emotional" in his initial reaction to the incident. [52]
