Arizona Diamondbacks preparing for physical, mental toll of Sydney trip

Right-hander Brandon McCarthy remembers some of his Oakland Athletics teammates needing only a few days to get their energy back and resume a normal sleep schedule after returning home from a season-opening series in Tokyo in 2012. For his part, McCarthy said he was still feeling "a little wonky" about two weeks later. But when he considers the challenges the Diamondbacks might face with next month's trip to Australia, McCarthy says he's more concerned by mental hurdles than physical ones.
