Player Notes
August 21, 2006
Brian McCann continues to play well despite being dinged up, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He's beat up," said manager Bobby Cox. "Toes on both feet are [messed] up. His hand. He has a bad ankle. ... I don't know how he's doing it." Cox limited McCann to pinch-hitting duties on Sunday to get a break, though.

June 8, 2006
Brian McCann didn't have any setbacks during his two-game rehab stint, but he won't be activated from the DL right away, according to the Atlanta Journal-Consitution. "We'll have to wait and see," McCann said. "I think in a couple of days. If not Houston (this weekend), then Florida (next week)." McCann has been out with a sprained ankle.
June 7, 2006
As expected, Brian McCann began what is expected to be a two-game rehab assignment at Single-A Rome last night, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. McCann is expected to be activated from the disabled list during the Braves' four-game series against the Astros which begins Thursday, though manager Bobby Cox was uncertain whether the catcher would be in the lineup before the weekend. "He'll come back and do some throwing and footwork stuff," Cox said. "Then we'll see if he's ready Thursday. If not, we'll see Friday or Saturday."
June 5, 2006

Brian McCann, who is dealing with a sprained ankle, is likely headed to the DL, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He can run straight ahead as hard as he can with zero problems," head trainer Jeff Porter said, "but he just found out he can't cut. If he can't do that by now, coming on a week [since the injury], it's probably going to take two more weeks. But it's still a guessing game." The Braves will wait to see how he feels today before making any moves.
May 25, 2006
Brian McCann limped off the field after his pinch-hit appearance on Tuesday, so he didn't catch his scheduled bullpen session Wednesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"It's real sore and all, but hopefully he'll be back soon."
May 21, 2006

McCann was hitting .367 with runners on base, but only mustered 12 RBI in part due to his low position in the order.
