McCann is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will head to the bench with lefty Drew Pomeranz due up for Boston, affording Austin Romine an opportunity behind the plate. Gary Sanchez will serve as the designated hitter. McCann is off to a poor start this month (5-for-27) and is batting right around .230 for the third straight season. He cleared waivers with no team willing to take on the $34 million due to McCann over the next two years, so the Yankees are allowed to trade him. If they cannot find a trade partner, the Yankees may opt to scale McCann's at-bats back over the final couple months in order to give Sanchez a longer look.
