Catching in Wednesday's game McCann (nose) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Despite suffering multiple nasal fractures when he was hit in the face by a fastball while he was batting in the first inning of Game 1 of Monday's doubeheader with Toronto, McCann was able to stay in the game. After re-evaluating McCann on Tuesday, the Orioles made him available off the bench for their eventual 6-2 win, and he'll now draw back into the lineup for the series finale while top backstop Adley Rutschman gets a day off. According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, McCann took batting practice Wednesday while wearing a protective mask, but it doesn't sound like it'll be anything that inhibits his vision at the plate or while catching.

Cleared to play despite fractures McCann has been diagnosed with multiple nose fractures but has been cleared to play, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Likely has broken nose Manager Brandon Hyde said that McCann likely sustained a broken nose in Monday's 11-5 win over the Blue Jays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact McCann was hit in the face by a fastball from Yariel Rodriguez in the bottom of the first inning of the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Toronto. Despite bleeding profusely, McCann took his base and stayed in for the duration of the game, going 1-for-3 with an RBI and one run scored. He will go for a CT scan to confirm the diagnosis, and despite finishing Monday's game, the 34-year-old backstop is unlikely to play through the injury in the coming weeks.
