Drives in five against former club McCann went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, five RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-3 win over the Mets.
Impact Facing the team that traded him this winter, McCann came through with his best performance of the season. He opened the scoring in the fourth inning with a two-run single, before adding a two-run double in the sixth and a final RBI single in the seventh as the Orioles pulled away. The veteran catcher had a tough first few months with Baltimore, but since returning from an ankle injury in early July he's batting .270 (10-for-37) with five doubles, five runs, eight RBI and a surprising two steals in 13 games.

Picks up rare steal McCann went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.
Impact McCann's modest five-game hitting streak came to an end, but he made the most of his one trip on base after getting plunked. The steal was his second of the season, putting him one theft shy of matching his total from last year. The backup catcher has a .195/.231/.333 slash line with three home runs, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and eight doubles over 41 contests. He's likely to remain limited with Adley Rutschman securing most of the playing time behind the dish.

Nearing return to O's McCann (ankle) said Friday that he expects to be activated from the injured list early next week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Impact McCann resumed baseball activities this past Monday and looks poised to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime this weekend. The veteran backup catcher has been sidelined since June 17 due to a left ankle sprain. Anthony Bemboom will likely lose his spot on the Orioles' major-league roster whenever McCann is ready.

Placed on IL due to ankle sprain Baltimore placed McCann on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left ankle sprain.
Impact McCann was considered day-to-day with the ankle injury he suffered while sliding into first base, but the Orioles will have the backstop out for at least a week-plus instead of playing shorthanded. Jose Godoy had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk in the corresponding move.

Dealing with twisted ankle McCann is day-to-day with a twisted ankle, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact McCann started behind the plate but exited after suffering the injury while sliding into first base. The injury doesn't appear to be particularly serious, but it's possible the Orioles temporarily call up an extra catcher to provide cover for Adley Rutschman until McCann is good to go.

Pops third homer McCann went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Giants.
Impact McCann has seen little playing time as backup to Adley Rutschman this year. In that limited action, McCann has struggled to make an impact, though this is the third time in his last four games he's knocked an extra-base hit. The veteran catcher is slashing just .195/.244/.364 with three homers, six RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base over 82 plate appearances this season.

Picks up first steal McCann went 0-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 13-10 win over the Royals.
Impact Following the trade that sent Luis Torrens to the Orioles, it appears more possible for McCann and Adley Rutschman to co-exist in the lineup between catcher and designated hitter. McCann has been in the lineup in four of the last six games, twice as the DH and twice as the catcher. He's slashing .225/.262/.400 with two home runs, one steal, five RBI, six runs scored and a double over 42 plate appearances this season.

Supplies three hits in win McCann went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Royals.
Impact McCann collected his first three-hit effort in just his 11th game of the season. He singled home a run in the fourth and would eventually score. The 33-year-old got another base hit in the fifth and in the eighth, raising his slash line to .250/.250/.444 with two homers, five RBI, five runs and a 0:5 BB:K over 36 plate appearances. McCann primarily operates as Adley Rutschman's backup but manager Brandon Hyde has gotten his bat in the lineup as a DH at times, as he did Tuesday. Still, McCann does not get enough opportunities to hold any fantasy relevance.

Clubs second homer McCann went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during a 7-4 loss to the Tigers in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact The veteran catcher took Eduardo Rodriguez deep in the second inning, but the O's were already in a 3-0 hole at that point. McCann's playing time has picked up lately as he's begun to see some at-bats at DH in addition to giving Adley Rutschman occasional breathers behind the plate, and while he's still batting only .194 (6-for-31) on the season after Saturday's twin bill, three of his six hits -- a double and two homers -- have gone for extra bases.

Returns to bench Tuesday McCann is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact McCann is back on the bench after he had been included in the lineup each of the past three days, making two starts at catcher and one as a designated hitter. The Orioles' lack of an everyday DH means that manager Brandon Hyde will likely continue to rotate several players at that spot, including No. 1 catcher Adley Rutschman. As such, McCann could continue to play more than most No. 2 catchers around the league, though he's still unlikely to see enough playing time to warrant attention outside of AL-only leagues.

Pops first homer McCann went 1-for-3 with a homer in Saturday's victory over the Tigers.
Impact McCann piled on with a solo shot in the fourth inning off Joey Wentz. McCann got the start behind the plate as Adley Rutschman slotted in as the designated hitter. McCann had a miserable .195 average last season and hasn't gotten off to a good start as he's hitting .165 in his first season with the Orioles.

Starting at catcher McCann is drawing a start at catcher for the Orioles in Wednesday's game versus the Nationals, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Impact Adley Rutschman is also in there at designated hitter. McCann is just 1-for-11 at the dish so far after returning from an oblique strain.
