McCann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's prolific offense was held in check by Drew Pomeranz all night until McCann unloaded on him in the bottom of the seventh inning, launching his 10th homer of the season into the upper deck in right field. The long ball was McCann's fourth in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's hit .361 (13-for-36) with nine RBI and 11 runs scored. It took McCann about a week after his return from the 7-day concussion list to get his groove back.

McCann is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is in the midst of his hottest stretch of the season with a .474 average, three homers, six RBI and eight runs in his last five starts, but he'll still be in line for a couple days off per week as the Astros look to preserve his health for the long haul. Evan Gattis gets a turn behind the plate while McCann gets a breather.

McCann went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two runs during Wednesday's loss to Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop has been sneaky good this season and sports a .287/.381/.491 slash line with six homers, 26 RBI and 16 RBI through his past 30 games. It's also encouraging to see McCann homer in consecutive starts after spending a week on the 7-day concussion disabled list and going just 1-for-16 through his fist five games after being activated. Hitting in the middle of a juggernaut offense provides an excellent fantasy setup for the veteran, too.

McCann is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was back behind the plate Saturday after being activated from the 7-day disabled list prior to the contest, finishing 0-for-2 with a pair of walks. The Astros are inclined to ease McCann back into action following the concussion, so Evan Gattis will swap in for him at catcher for the series finale.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop will take back over behind the plate in his first game since being activated off the 7-day concussion DL. He'll face left-hander Wade Miley in his return. McCann has feasted on southpaws this season to the tune of a .304 average coupled with a 1.124 OPS.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, McCann is back with the Astros ahead of Saturday's bout after missing the last week with a concussion. Should he start, the 33-year-old -- who is slashing .269/.365/.454 with six homers and 25 RBI this season -- will face Wade Miley in his return to the lineup.

McCann (concussion) expects to be activated from the 7-day disabled list when first eligible Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann said he felt 100 percent and fully expects to play upon his return to the big club Saturday. The 33-year-old is slashing .269/.365/.454 with six homers and 25 RBI across 30 games in his first season with the Astros. He should take over as the primary backstop upon his activation from the disabled list, though Evan Gattis should continue to see a share of starts behind the dish as well.
