Brian McCann (shoulder) expects to be activated from the disabled list on May 6 for the start of the Braves' series in Cincinnati.
McCann will remain on a rehab assignment through the end of the week and will be activated early next week as long as he doesn't have a setback. "I'll be ready," McCann said. "Where I'm at right now, I feel really good." The catcher is hitting 273/.385/.909 with a pair of homers in three rehab games so far. With Jason Heyward slated to be sidelined until the end of May, Evan Gattis will likely see plenty of starts in the outfield once McCann returns.
