McCann (hamstring) is progressing well in his rehab and hopes to be activated next week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann took part in pre-game activities Thursday, just four days after landing on the injured list. He's eligible to return Tuesday against Arizona and appears to be on track to do so.

McCann (hamstring) is making solid progress and expects to be back from the injured list after the 10-day minimum, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was officially moved to the 10-day IL on Sunday, meaning he'll likely return to action early next week if all goes according to plan. Alex Jackson and Tyler Flowers (hand) will continue to draw starts behind the dish until McCann returns to health.

The Braves officially placed McCann (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was revealed shortly after McCann exited Saturday's game against the Marlins with a right hamstring strain that he would be sidelined at least a couple weeks with the injury, so the transaction comes as little surprise. Alex Jackson was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move and will add depth at catcher behind Tyler Flowers, who is dealing with a hand injury of his own.

McCann (hamstring) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann exited Saturday's game against the Marlins with a right hamstring strain and the Braves will waste little time in bolstering their catching depth. Alex Jackson will be promoted from Triple-A while Tyler Flowers (hand) should take over the everyday role, assuming Saturday's hit by pitch doesn't cause any problems. The severity of McCann's hamstring strain is not yet known.

McCann was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins with a right hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

McCann returned to the starting nine after a day off Friday but was unable to complete nine innings. Tyler Flowers has taken over behind the plate and seems likely to be in the lineup Sunday while the severity of the injury is determined.

McCann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

McCann started four of six games entering Friday and is 3-for-12 with four RBI and four walks in 17 plate appearances, but will take a seat in the series opener. Tyler Flowers will start behind the plate and bat seventh versus the Marlins.

McCann is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will give way to Tyler Flowers behind the dish Wednesday with a southpaw in Jon Lester toeing the rubber for the Cubs. The veteran backstop has started three of the team's first five games this season, going 2-for-10 with a pair of RBI and 3:2 BB:K in those contests.

McCann is out of the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

McCann received the nod behind the dish in the season-opening loss Thursday, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk. The 35-year-old transitioned into more of a timeshare behind the dish in his final season in Houston and is likely headed for a similar fate as he returns to Atlanta in 2019. Tyler Flowers will draw the start Saturday and has proven to be capable option at catcher for the Braves over the past three seasons.

McCann has gone 5-for-12 (.412) with a double through six spring training games.

EDGE Analysis

While the veteran catcher is still looking for his first homer, McCann has looked healthy and just about ready for the regular season. He's expected to work in a timeshare with Tyler Flowers in his return to Atlanta, although McCann will likely see less action than his younger counterpart as he attempts to rebound from a disappointing 2018.

McCann signed a contract with the Braves on Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifics regarding the contract remain unclear, but McCann is headed back to where he spent the first nine years of his big-league career. The backstop battled injuries and hit just .212/.301/.339 across 63 games in 2018, though he owns a career .263/.338/.454 slash line through 14 seasons. He figures to replace Kurt Suzuki as the strong side of a catching platoon with Tyler Flowers in 2019.
