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

EDGE Analysis

McCann typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Nationals' Max Scherzer, but he'll be on the bench for the series finale in what likely just amounts to rest due to Atlanta and Washington playing a day game after a night game. No. 2 catcher Tyler Flowers checks in behind the dish and will work in a battery with Mike Soroka.

McCann is not in Friday's lineup against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He'll take a seat with the Braves facing southpaw Patrick Corbin. Tyler Flowers starts behind the dish while hitting eighth.

McCann isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is in line for a second straight off day, clearing the way for Tyler Flowers to draw another start. Flowers will handle the catching duties and bat seventh.

McCann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

McCann returned from a brief stint on the injured list to start at catcher in Sunday's 5-3 win over the White Sox, going hitless in three at-bats. He'll cede duties behind the plate to Francisco Cervelli on Monday but should see the majority of the Braves' catching work in September.

McCann (knee) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann suffered the left knee sprain Aug. 20 but is able to rejoin the Braves after a quick trip to the IL. The 35-year-old struggled in August prior to the injury with a .535 OPS and zero extra-base hits in 12 games. He'll re-enter the lineup right away, stepping in behind the plate and batting fifth in the Braves' series finale with the White Sox.

McCann (knee) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is eligible to be activated Saturday, but it makes sense for the Braves to wait until roster expand Sunday to avoid an unnecessary roster move. The 35-year-old will rejoin the big-league club without making a minor-league rehab stint.

McCann was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

The hope is that he will miss just a couple of weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. He was removed from Tuesday's game with a sore knee, but it was apparently a legitimate injury. Tyler Flowers will take over as the primary catcher while Alex Jackson was recalled from Triple-A to serve as the backup.

The Braves are expected to place McCann (knee) on the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Marlins, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta is still awaiting test results on McCann after he exited Tuesday's 5-1 win with what was labeled as a sore left knee, but the big club is seemingly already preparing to be without their top backstop's services for at least the next week and a half. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Triple-A Gwinnett catcher Alex Jackson was removed from his International League game Tuesday with an injury of his own, but he received a clean bill of health and is expected to receive a promotion when McCann officially lands on IL. Jackson will likely serve as the understudy to Tyler Flowers, who should take over as the club's primary catcher.

McCann was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins as a precaution due to left knee soreness.

EDGE Analysis

McCann went 0-for-1 before being replaced by Tyler Flowers for the start of the fourth inning. The fact the Braves labeled his exit as precautionary is good news, but McCann may still be out of the lineup Wednesday to help provide some added recovery time.

McCann is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Nothing to see here; this is the norm with Atlanta's catching platoon. Tyler Flowers steps in behind the plate to face lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu, after McCann caught and hit fifth against opposing right-handed starters Thursday and Friday.
