I have to imagine I wasn’t the only one who breathed a huge sigh of relief when everything came back negative on Brian McCann’s foot yesterday. Even though he hasn’t been what we hoped he would be offensively and his defense has slipped a bit this season, McCann has been swinging a better bat recently and is still a vital piece to the middle of the lineup. Losing him for an extended period of time would have shortened the batting order even further and undoubtedly hurt the team.
Officially McCann is listed as day-to-day, and the smart money is on the Yankees giving him at least the next few games off.
