Brian McCann

Brian McCann out of Yankees' lineup Monday

New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

McCann joins designated hitter Alex Rodriguez and outfielder Brett Gardner on the bench against Astros' southpaw Dallas Keuchel. Austin Romine will start behind the plate and catch for starter Michael Pineda.

McCann ranks 144th with a 0.42 nERD this season, and we project him to hit .231/.327/.410 with a .320 wOBA over the remainder of the season.
