Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann received a cortisone shot in his injured right shoulder on Saturday night. McCann has been playing through a frayed labrum and cyst, and manager Fredi Gonzalez said he hopes this latest shot helps McCann turn a corner.
"Hopefully this will get him over the hump," said Gonzalez, who said he will try to pick spots to rest McCann going forward. "I think he's a lot closer. His at-bats are good, but it's bothering him. It bites him."
