New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann is in the lineup Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays after being out of the lineup the last two games because of a knee injury, according to the team's official website. McCann sustained the injury Tuesday while attempting to block a ball in the dirt, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the team was not worried that he would need to miss extended time. “If I needed to I could have caught Mac [Wednesday] night," Girardi told the New York Post. “He is really day-to-day. We don’t anticipate it will be too long as of right now. The way he felt [Thursday] we were encouraged by it. We will look at [Friday] or [Saturday]." McCann was able to pinch-hit Wednesday but flew out with runners on first and second to end the game. John Ryan Murphy will return to a backup role upon McCann's return.
