Braves | Brian McCann to catch in playoffs
Atlanta Braves C Brian McCann (groin) isn't dealing with a significant injury, and the team expects him to catch in the playoffs, with C Evan Gattis playing left field. However, McCann is expected to be rested in the final weekend of the regular season. 'That's a nice thing, too, where he can have seven days of treatment and seven days of settling it down. Maybe we pinch hit him on Sunday just to get him an at-bat,' manager Fredi Gonzalez said.  Source: The Associated Press
