EDGE Analysis

McCann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will head back to the bench after starting the past two games behind the plate, including a 1-for-3 night with a home run and two RBI during Tuesday's loss. Max Stassi will start at catcher and bat eighth for the series finale.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Tuesday's loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has traditionally been more of a power hitter, but he's now hitting .306 to go along with an impressive .443 OBP. His counting stats -- namely his two home runs and seven RBI -- will take a hit by rotating behind the plate with Evan Gattis. Especially in a shallow position though league-wide, the 34-year-old is proving to be a valuable contributor when he is in the lineup.

McCann is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It looks to be a standard off day for McCann after the veteran backstop was behind the plate for the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with a pair of walks, two runs and an RBI in those contests. Max Stassi will catch Lance McCullers in the series finale and bat eighth.

McCann went 1-for-2 with two runs, an RBI and two walks in the win over the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann twice came around to score on doubles from George Springer, once in the fourth and again in the sixth. McCann's position in the bottom third of the Houston lineup is helping his value as a run scorer, as he's now scored nine runs in 13 games. The backstop is also 14-for-39 (.359) on the season, with a .490 on-base percentage. The issue with McCann is that he doesn't play everyday (13 games played out of 21) so his counting stats take a hit even though his averages are good.

McCann is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann bashed his first homer in Wednesday's contest, but he'll head to the bench with lefty Marco Gonzales taking the hill for Seattle. Max Stassi will act as the starting catcher in his stead.

McCann went 1-for-1 with two walks and a home run Tuesday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

McCann hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning off right-handed pitcher Dan Altavilla to record his first home run and extra-base hit of the season. He has been out of the lineup regularly due to the crowded Astros' lineup, but has performed well when given at-bats hitting .333/.463/.424. However, as his slugging percentage indicates, he had provided an empty batting average prior to Tuesday's home run.

McCann is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

James Paxton, a southpaw, is starting for Seattle on Monday night, presenting the Astros with an opportunity to give McCann the night off. Max Stassi will fill in as Houston's backstop with McCann out of the lineup.
