Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy is hoping that the elbow injury that forced him from Saturday's start against the Padres is merely tendinitis, MLB.com reports.

Initial tests on the elbow came back negative for ligament damage, so it's possible the injury will only be a short-term one for McCarthy, who gave up six earned runs in five-plus innings Saturday before being removed. He has posted an ugly 5.87 ERA through four starts but is 3-0 with an excellent 29:4 K:BB ratio in 23 innings.
