NEW YORK (AP) — Backup catcher James McCann was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Baltimore Orioles before Tuesday’s game against the New York Yankees and went 0 for 4 with an RBI grounder in an 8-4 loss.
McCann had been sidelined since spraining his left ankle while reaching on an infield single against the Chicago Cubs on June 17. He went 0 for 9 with an RBI grounder in a two-game minor league injury rehabilitation assignment with the Double-A Bowie BaySox on July 1-2.
The 33-year-old is hitting .194 with three homers and seven RBIs this season as a backup to All-Star Adley Rutschman.
Baltimore also placed left-hander Cionel Pérez on the 15-day injured list because of left forearm soreness, a move retroactive to Monday, and recalled left-hander Bruce Zimmerman from Triple-A Norfolk. Zimmerman allowed an unearned run, causing it when he fumbled Jose Trevino’s grounder for an error.
Baltimore optioned right-hander Chris Vallimont to Norfolk after Monday’s 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees.
