Brian McCann will sit for Game 1 of Astros' doubleheader

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is on the bench to kick off Saturday's doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

McCann got the start last night and could be in line to start Saturday night, so Juan Centeno will spell him for today's afternoon game.

After McCann went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles a night ago, our models project him for 2 home runs, 7 RBI and a .271 average the rest of the way.
