McCann went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's spring game against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

McCann swatted his first home run of the Cactus League and is batting .214 over 28 spring at-bats. He's expected to serve as the backup to Gabriel Moreno (forearm) but could be needed for more depending on the starter's recovery. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports on Monday that Moreno will begin a throwing program next week, which also marks the start of the regular season. Lovullo is confident there's enough time for the injured catcher to ramp up for Opening Day; if not, McCann appears ready to fill in.

The Diamondbacks re-signed McCann to a one-year, $2.75 million contract, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll have the ability to earn an additional $500,000 in incentives. McCann signed with Arizona in late June this past season and went on to hit .260/.324/.431 with five home runs over 42 games. He will open the 2026 season as the backup catcher behind Gabriel Moreno.

McCann is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has served as the Diamondbacks' primary catcher lately while Gabriel Moreno occupies the designated-hitter slot. However, it will be Moreno at catcher and Adrian Del Castillo at DH for Thursday's matinee.

McCann went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Once the Diamondbacks got Los Angeles starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani out of the game after six shutout innings, McCann and company scored five times over the final three frames for the comeback win. McCann doubled in the first run and scored the third run in the seventh inning. His sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the ninth put two teammates in scoring position, and they both eventually scored for the win. McCann has been useful to Arizona's late-season push for the playoffs, going 5-for-17 with two doubles, two home runs and eight RBI over his last five games.

McCann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

After catching all nine innings of Saturday night's 4-3 win, McCann will rest for the day game. Gabriel Moreno will settle in behind the dish for Arizona.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

McCann doubled in the game-tying run in the sixth inning before scoring the game-deciding run later in the frame. He's received an uptick in playing time behind the plate of late, which allows manager Torey Lovullo to use Gabriel Moreno as a designated hitter to get his bat into the lineup without wearing him down. McCann's hit safely in five of six starts since returning from back tightness Sept. 6, going 7-for-21 (.333) with two home runs and seven RBI in that span.

McCann will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will crack the lineup for the third time in four games after going 3-for-8 with two home runs and six RBI in his previous two starts. So long as he's swinging a hot bat, McCann will likely be able to play fairly regularly at catcher, clearing the way for Gabriel Moreno to see more time at designated hitter.

McCann went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-1 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

This was McCann's second straight game with a homer, and he's gone 6-for-15 over four contests in September. While his playing time has remained limited as backup to Gabriel Moreno, McCann continues to be productive in his rare chances to enter the lineup. McCann is at a .257/.327/.446 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and four doubles across 36 games this season.

McCann went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 6-4 victory at Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop gave his team a 4-2 lead with a 407-foot, three-run blast off Twins starter Bailey Ober in the fourth. McCann is playing sparingly in a backup role with the Diamondbacks, slashing .258/.330/.423 with four homers, 15 runs scored and 13 RBI across 109 plate appearances this season. Unless anything happens to Adrian Del Castillo or Gabriel Moreno, the 35-year-old is not fantasy relevant.
