McCann went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

McCann made his second start behind the plate since the Diamondbacks signed him Monday. The veteran backstop was drilled by a pitch on the hand Saturday but was able to stay in the game. He's expected to split work behind the dish with Jose Herrera until Gabriel Moreno (finger) returns from the injured list.

The Diamondbacks signed McCann to a one-year contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop will share catching duties with Jose Herrera while Gabriel Moreno (hand) is on the injured list. Before Atlanta released him over the weekend, McCann had played exclusively in the minors in 2025, slashing .305/.345/.510 over 165 plate appearances. The 35-year-old owns a .673 OPS over parts of 11 seasons in the big leagues but probably offers more value as a game caller and a defender than as a hitter at this stage of his career.

McCann is expected to sign a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann had a rolling opt-out in his minor-league deal with Atlanta, meaning that if another team offered him a major-league job, Atlanta needed to either promote him or allow him to leave, and the latter transpired Sunday. The catcher will help fill the hole left by Gabriel Moreno (finger) behind the plate after Moreno was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fracture in his right pointer finger Thursday. McCann will likely operate in a timeshare with Jose Herrera at catcher moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will latch on with Atlanta after spending the 2024 campaign in Baltimore, batting .234 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base over 214 at-bats in 66 regular-season games. The catcher will now likely report to Triple-A Gwinnett to open the 2025 season, but he's got a strong shot at being elevated to the major-league roster at some point this summer.
