McCann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
It will be McCann's turn to sit in the series finale as he continues to alternate starts at catcher with Tyler Flowers. The arrangement hasn't prevented McCann from getting into the rhythm at the plate this season, as his .855 OPS -- his highest mark since 2008 -- illustrates.

McCann is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
McCann and Tyler Flowers will alternate starting duties behind the plate for the ninth straight game. The regular rest may be helping keep McCann fresh, as he is slashing .309/.375/.485 with three homers and 16 RBI in 80 plate appearances.

McCann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
McCann and Tyler Flowers will alternate turns behind the plate for the fourth straight day as the Braves continue to run a timeshare at catcher. The relatively even distribution of playing time is harmful to the fantasy value of both players but should help preserve the 35-year-old McCann over the rigors of a long season.

McCann went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran catcher continues to experience a renaissance in his return to Atlanta. McCann is now slashing .311/.389/.508 with three homers and 15 RBI in 18 games, and he's closing in on a career milestone -- he needs just 12 more RBI for 1,000.

McCann isn't in Friday's starting lineup against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
McCann has notched a base hit in three of his past four games, but he'll catch a breather. Tyler Flowers gets the start behind the dish and will bat seventh with McCann out of the lineup.

McCann isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
McCann took the collar in the series opener (0-for-3), so he'll head to the bench Tuesday to catch a breather. Tyler Flowers will start behind the dish and hit seventh in McCann's stead.

McCann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves have mostly run a timeshare behind the dish this season, but McCann had picked up four of the past five starts at catcher before checking out of the lineup for the series finale. Manager Brian Snitker may have just wanted to ride McCann's bat while it's been hot, as the veteran backstop has gone 5-for-13 with a home run, a double, two walks and six RBI over that four-start stretch. McCann will get a breather Sunday while Tyler Flowers checks in behind the plate.

McCann went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, three RBI and a walk in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
McCann entered the series versus the Marlins with three extra-base hits and eight RBI for the season, but has come alive by going 3-for-7 with one double, one home run and six RBI in two games at Miami. The 35-year-old is slashing .320/.410/.500 through 50 at-bats as he continues to see a slight edge in playing time behind the plate over Tyler Flowers.

McCann went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
McCann put the Braves up 3-1 in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly before extending the lead two innings later with his two-run shot off Jose Urena. The veteran backstop has been locked in at the dish since returning from the injured list in mid-April, slashing .313/.378/.563 with a pair of homers and seven RBI in nine games over that stretch.

McCann is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McCann drew starts behind the plate both of the past two nights, reaching base four times between the contests. With a quick turnaround for Thursday's series finale, McCann will take a seat in favor of Tyler Flowers.
