McCann went 2-for-3 with two homers, two walks, three runs and four RBI Wednesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCann hit a solo shot in the eighth inning to draw the Yankees to within four runs of the Rangers, and his 12th homer of the year tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning of a game they'd go on to win. He's now had a pair of multi-homer games in his last seven starts to bring his slugging percentage to .439 on the year.

McCann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Austin Romine gets the start behind the plate Friday with the Yankees facing left-hander Tommy Milone. McCann has struggled mightily against lefties this season, batting .200 with a .658 OPS in 45 at-bats. He figures to get back behind the plate Saturday when the Yankees face righty Ervin Santana.

McCann went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
McCann hadn't gone deep in nearly two weeks heading into Sunday, but he slugged a couple of deep drives estimated at 840 feet combined. He has been rather disappointing this season, as his OPS sits at just .737 to go along with 10 home runs and 29 RBI, but perhaps Sunday's effort is a sign of better things to come for the veteran.

McCann is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Austin Romine will catch and bat eighth against lefty Pat Dean as McCann sits for the second time in three days. McCann is 4-for-31 so far this month and 0-for-his-last-12, dropping his batting line on the season to .211/.320/.383, but he's still on pace to reach 20 homers for a ninth consecutive season (just barely).

McCann is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCann is in the midst of a deep slump, but he showed a sign of potentially breaking out of it with his eighth homer of the season Monday. He'll get a day off with a southpaw set to take the mound for the Angels, while Austin Romine will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

McCann (elbow) will be behind the plate and bat fifth in the order Sunday against the Orioles, ESPN.com's Wallace Matthews reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCann had been out of the lineup the previous three days, but it looks like the time off was all that he needed to heal up from the hyperextended elbow. It's fortunate timing for the Yankees, as the team would have been in dire shape in the catching ranks had McCann not been available Sunday, as backup Austin Romine left Saturday's game with a hand injury.

McCann (elbow) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, McCann will miss another game Saturday as he continues to recover from a hyper-extended elbow. Austin Romine will get the start behind the plate Saturday and he's expected to remain in the lineup for a few more days while McCann is sidelined.

McCann (elbow) said it will be a couple of days before he's ready to play again, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Austin Romine will continue to pick up the extra playing time behind the plate in McCann's absence, which will presumably last through the duration of the team's weekend series with the Orioles, and perhaps longer.
