Arizona Diamondbacks SP Brandon McCarthy said he will not be wearing Major League Baseball's new protective caps for pitchers. McCarthy tested the new hats while throwing off a mound, playing catch and running and said, "I won't wear it in its current form." He doesn't consider the current cap to be "a major league-ready product." McCarthy said the hat is too big, and pitchers will be away of the size difference during competition. The protective cap also adds seven ounces of weight, which makes it "too hot," according to McCarthy.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) threw from flat ground on Wednesday, June 26. McCarthy was supposed to throw a bullpen session earlier in the week but didn't because he felt fatigue in his right shoulder, according to manager Kirk Gibson.

Fantasy Tip: McCarthy threw a bullpen at the end of last week, so this isn't really progress, but at least he didn't feel soreness. If it's just a bit of a dead period following inactivity, the righty may be close to making actual progress. He's supposedly been pain-free for weeks, but if he doesn't make significant headway soon, it looks like fantasy owners won't see him until after the All-Star break.
