McCann took reps at first base Thursday, the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees have no natural backup to Mark Teixeira at first base after Greg Bird went down for the season in the spring, so this move would allow McCann's bat to stay in the lineup more often while not taxing his legs with catching duties. It's unclear if the club actually plans on inserting him there during game action, but the catcher likely won't see too much time at first regardless.
