Brian McCann was in Atlanta earlier this week to have his right wrist examined. McCann complained of tenderness in the wrist, so the Braves didn't want to take any chances. He was originally expected to test his surgically-repaired shoulder behind the plate in extended spring training games later this week, but it's not clear if the wrist will have an impact on his timeline. Evan Gattis and Gerald Laird will continue to fill in behind the plate until McCann is ready to return.
