James McCann News: Playing time picking up

Published on September 17, 2025

McCann will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

McCann will crack the lineup for the third time in four games after going 3-for-8 with two home runs and six RBI in his previous two starts. So long as he's swinging a hot bat, McCann will likely be able to play fairly regularly at catcher, clearing the way for Gabriel Moreno to see more time at designated hitter.
