| Player Notes |
| October 19, 2007 Brian McCann will not undergo left ankle surgery this offseason. There were thoughts that he may need an operation to remove a bone spur, but he will opt for rest, MLB.com reports. McCann may still undergo a different type of surgery, though. He is thinking of having a Lasik procedure. |
| September 8, 2007 Brian McCann returned to action on Friday after missing Wednesday's game due to his bum ankle. McCann confirmed that he may require a minor offseason procedure to repair the joint, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The catcher has a bone spur in his ankle that may need to be removed, though he would be fully recovered in plenty of time for spring training. For now, he's going to keep playing, though he may be removed at times for a pinch-runner, like he was in the eighth inning of Friday's game. |
| September 5, 2007 Brian McCann left Wednesday's contest against the Phillies with a left ankle contusion, according to the AP. He suffered the injury while advancing to second base on a Jeff Francoeur single in the eighth inning. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, so check back later for more details. |

| July 7, 2007 Brian McCann has been battling a sore knee recently, and it got bad enough that he was sent for an MRI on Friday. The test revealed no structural damage, and McCann was able to enter Friday's game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He said he would be ready to play on Saturday and in the All-Star game, so it appears to be nothing serious. |

"It hurts worse this time," said McCann, before Wednesday night's game against the Phillies. "It's not going to put me on the DL or anything. It's just one of those nagging injuries that I'm going to have to deal with for a few days." |
| May 2, 2007 Brian McCann suffered a second injury to his left ring finger on Tuesday night and is questionable for Wednesday's game. "Hopefully I wake up and I can catch a baseball," McCann told MLB.com. "If I can, I'll be out there." |

| April 23, 2007 Brian McCann was hit on his left ring finger by a pitch during yesterday's game, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. X-rays were negative, and he was diagnosed with a bruise. It's possible that he'll be able to play in today's game. |
| March 22, 2007 Brian McCann agreed to a six-year, $28.6 million contract with the Braves on Wednesday, according to the AP. The deal includes a $12 million option for 2013 with a $500,000 buyout. "He made the All-Star team at a very early age and he's one of the top catchers in the game today," GM John Schuerholz said. "He made the All-Star team. He won the Silver Slugger award and the pitchers love throwing to him. That's as important as anything. He's a special type guy, so we wanted to do something special." |
