McCann received a cortisone shot Tuesday to address inflammation and tendinitis in his right knee, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros are hopeful the injection will reduce the swelling above McCann's knee within a few days, at which point the team will determine the next step in the catcher's recovery process. At this point, McCann doesn't look to be at risk of a lengthy stay on the 10-day disabled list, but a more definitive timetable for his return won't be established until he's cleared to resume baseball activities.

McCann was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right knee soreness, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when the issue cropped up on the veteran backstop, but it's apparently serious enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list. He remains without a timetable for his return at this point, though the earliest date he could rejoin the Astros would be August 24th. With Evan Gattis (concussion) also on the shelf, Juan Centeno will take over primary catching duties, with Max Stassi's contract being selected from Triple-A to work as his backup.

McCann is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bit odd to see McCann sit against a right-hander when he just had a day off Thursday, but there has been no indication of an injury. Manager A.J. Hinch is seemingly just rewarding Juan Centeno for his recent hot stretch at the plate (4-for-9 in his last two starts).

McCann is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting behind the plate the first two games of the series, McCann will get a breather Sunday, opening up an opportunity for Juan Centeno to catch. McCann has slumped to begin the second half, hitting just .170 over 53 at-bats, though three of his nine hits have been home runs.

McCann caught the past couple games, and although he homered in Friday's bout, he'll hit the bench for a night off. Evan Gattis will give him a breather behind the plate.

McCann went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Friday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

McCann launched his 12th bomb of the campaign to extend the Astros lead to five runs in a road victory. Although he doesn't play every day, he's a reasonable option in leagues that require two catchers, and he's also a solid choice in daily leagues based on his ability to provide power.
