McCarthy out of hospital after brain operation

The 29-year-old McCarthy was hit on the right side of the head by a line drive struck by the Los Angeles Angels' Erick Aybar last Wednesday.

On Thursday he had surgery to relieve pressure on his brain from an epidural hemorrhage.

McCarthy issued a statement thanking team medical personnel as well as the doctors at the hospital on behalf of himself and his wife, Amanda.

“We also want to express our deep appreciation to our teammates, manager and coaching staff for their concern and encouragement during the uncertain times, and also want to thank all the A's fans who wished U.S. well. It's times like these when you realize you have an extended family, and feel so fortunate.”
