McCann went 1-for-4 with a two-run shot in Thursday's 7-3 win against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is up to five homers in 125 at-bats this season, but is still hitting just .216 in his limited playing time. Unless the 34-year-old pulls ahead and gets more appearances over Max Stassi, he won't hold a lot of fantasy value in most leagues.

McCann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will head to the bench for the third time in five games since returning from the disabled list. Max Stassi will once again start behind the dish in his stead, something that could continue to happen on a more frequent basis given McCann's .215/.309/.339 line on the season compared to Stassi's .259/.336/.491 triple-slash.

McCann is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros apparently aren't eager to rush McCann back into action following his reinstatement from the disabled list Friday, as he'll be relegated to the bench for the second straight day. Max Stassi will pick up another start Sunday and may have carved out a larger role for himself behind the plate after acquitting himself well offensively while McCann was sidelined with the knee injury.

McCann isn't in Saturday's starting lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McCann returned from the disabled list Friday after dealing with right knee soreness. The Astros are likely easing him back into the swing of things, so he'll be replaced by Max Stassi behind the dish in Game 3 of the weekend series.

McCann returned to the active lineup and went 1-for-4 in Friday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was activated off the disabled list Friday after missing the minimum 10 days with soreness in his right knee. At 34, McCann is susceptible to those kinds of nagging, recurring injuries. He played 97 games with 399 plate appearances last season, the least since his rookie season, and should finish in that neighborhood this year barring any further setbacks.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will likely return to the lineup for Friday's contest in Arlington as Justin Verlander takes the hill looking for his eighth win of the season. Over 37 games this year, McCann has slashed .219/.313/.351 with four home runs and 14 RBI, though he was in a bit of a slump prior to landing on the DL in late May. In a corresponding move, Tim Federowicz was designated for assignment.

Manager A.J. Hinch said the Astros are expecting McCann (knee) to return from the disabled list Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has to pass one final test with the team's trainer before returning, but it sounds like the Astros are expecting him to be back with the big club prior to Friday's game against the Astros. The 34-year-old, who has been on the disabled list since May 29 with a knee injury, should immediately reclaim his role as the team's primary backstop once healthy, pushing Max Stassi to a reserve role.

McCann (knee) successfully completed a workout with team trainers Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann exclaimed "I feel good" after testing out his knee and taking batting practice at Minute Maid Park . The 34-year-old backstop landed on the 10-day disabled list May 29, and he'll be eligible to return starting June 8. Until he's activated, Max Stassi should continue to handle the catching duties.

McCann was moved to the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with right knee soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann sat out Friday and Sunday in the Astros' weekend series against the Indians, so the injury appears to have been bothering him for at least a few days. Houston will turn to Max Stassi behind the plate with McCann on the shelf. The 34-year-old was batting just .147 with two home runs and four RBI over his last 10 games.

McCann is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will sit for the second time in the series while he remains stuck in a 1-for-22 slump over his past seven starts. Max Stassi will pick up another turn behind the plate and cut could further into McCann's playing time if the veteran fails to bounce back from his current funk at the plate.
