Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy (knee) is scheduled to throw live batting practice at Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday, and he could pitch in relief as soon as Tuesday for Gwinnett, according to manager Brian Snitker. McCarthy, who announced he will retire at the end of this season, is transitioning to a relief role and should be able to help the Braves down the stretch. He has zero fantasy value without a role in the rotation, though.
