Brian McCann kept out of lineup with stiff left knee

Brian McCann did not get his wish.

The catcher went to bed Tuesday night hoping to wake up Wednesday morning and not feel stiffness on the inside of his left knee.

It didn't happen.

"I woke up, it was stiff," McCann said.

An MRI performed Wednesday showed inflammation, which will keep the catcher out for at least the next "couple" of days.

"Right now I'm just hoping a couple of days will knock it out," said McCann, who ranks second on the club in RBIs (65) and third in homers (18).
