McCann looks to be out for a while

[johnsamo]

right knee... looks bad.

[johnsamo]

looks loke the back ligaments of the knee eithe got hyperextended or torn... Neither is good news, but the latter is an out all year kind of injury

[Wharton93]

His right knee might look bad, but it was his left knee that got busted~

[johnsamo]

meant left.... hate to say it, but this helps me big time in my my league, one of my top contenders just took a major hit with McCann out.

[HillenbrandOwns]

I guess now the Braves will call up that catcher prospect with the extremely long and silly name

[Wharton93]

He's at double A and barely hitting .200 so who knows if they'll call up Jarrod Saltamacchia or not.

Report ia a left lateral ankle sprain. Wait and see.

[johnsamo]

They just announced "left lateral ankle sprain and is day-to-day"... whatever that means... and as the great Keith Olbermann put it, "we're all day-to-day."

[johnsamo]

From what I saw and the pain he was in, I just don't see how a guy can catch with a bum wheel, all that crouching... I'd bet 14 day DL.

from rotoworld:
Brian McCann is listed as day-to-day with a left lateral ankle sprain sustained in a collision at home plate during Saturday's game.
Well, we'll see about that. Our guess is that McCann will end up on the DL. However, the early fear was that it may have been a season-ending injury, and that no longer appears likely. If McCann avoids the DL, the Braves may sent down Travis Smith to call up Brayan Pena on Sunday.
