In 2013, McCarthy will be returning from a skull fracture he sustained after being hit in the head by a line drive. He underwent surgery and was cleared for all baseball activities back in November, after 20 hours of testing. Of course, the deal depends on the results of a physical. McCarthy has had some shoulder issues in the past that could also be a concern.
