He suffered a partial dislocation and a trainer appeared pop his shoulder back into place.
Looked like head trainer George Poulis may have popped McCarthy's shoulder back in before he walked off the field. Sam Freeman continues to throw in the #Braves pen https://t.co/xIYkS4gB9a

Fortunately, the freak injury was to his non-throwing shoulder and he isn't expected to miss his next start, according to the Brian Snitker.

McCarthy did get a little hilarious grief from his wife when he didn't do the dishes on Wednesday night.
Whoa so much happened. Dislocated your shoulder, made the out, popped it back in, then just walked around normal? But you still can’t do the dishes... seems fishy.
