Brian McCann went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Friday against the Giants.
McCann was red-hot after returning from shoulder surgery, but he's hitting just .130 (3-for-23) with eight strikeouts over his last eight games and hasn't had an extra-base hit since June 3. We'd stay the course with him in shallow mixed leagues, though.

Brian McCann is not in the Braves' lineup Sunday.
It appears to just be a day off. Evan Gattis is starting for the second time in the last three games even though the Dodgers are sending a right-hander (Matthew Magill) to the mound.

Brian McCann clubbed a pair of solo homers in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays in 10 innings.
McCann went back-to-back with Evan Gattis in the eighth to put the Braves in front, but the Blue Jays eventually tied it to send the game into extra innings. However, McCann homered off Thad Weber in the top of the 10th to lead the Braves to the victory. It was his first multi-homer game this season and the ninth of his career. The 29-year-old backstop is batting .281/.354/.614 with six home runs, 14 RBI and a .968 OPS in 16 games since coming off the DL and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
