Brandon McCarthy had a strong outing on Sunday as the Dodgers swept the Rockies, but Roberts hasn’t confirmed when his next start will be.

Roberts calls suddenly having too many starting pitchers a "high-class problem."

From @EliasSports: Brandon McCarthy is 1st P w/ 8 K and as few as 3 baserunners in 1st game following that long of a layoff… since 1966!

Brandon McCarthy on savoring comeback: "The 1st K I was like ‘OK, at least, if nothing else, I didn’t end my career with HR to Justin Upton"

The Dodgers are looking to get healthy as key players are still on the DL. Most recently, the Dodgers transferred pitcher Alex Wood to the 60-day DL list for left posterior elbow soreness.

Alex Wood has begun throwing off mound. Brett Anderson in next few days. No timetable for either return yet though #Dodgers
