The Rangers hired McCarthy (knee) as special assistant to the general manager Tuesday, officially putting an end to his playing career.

McCarthy (knee) won't pitch again in 2018, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The Braves have returned McCarthy from his rehab assignment after aggravating his knee injury, and he'll remain on the 60-day disabled list.

McCarthy (knee) will start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
