Likely out 4-to-6 weeks Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that McCann (quad) will likely be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact McCann landed on the injured list Tuesday with a quad strain, and it doesn't seem like the Diamondbacks are going to get their backup catcher back anytime soon. Aramis Garcia was recalled from Triple-A to replenish Arizona's backstop depth behind Gabriel Moreno. Adrian Del Castillo could make an occasional appearance behind the plate as well.

Officially placed on IL The Diamondbacks placed McCann (quad) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact McCann suffered a quad strain while legging out a single in Monday's contest, and his injury will officially cause him to remain on the sidelines for another 10 days. Aramis Garcia was selected from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move to provide depth behind the plate, though Gabriel Moreno should continue to receive the majority of starts.

Taking seat Wednesday McCann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Even though top backstop Gabriel Moreno (oblique) last played Friday before landing on the injured list, McCann hasn't taken over as the Orioles' primary catcher. Instead, McCann has shared the job with Adrian Del Castillo, who has made three starts to McCann's two over the last five games. Arizona also has Aramis Garcia on hand as a third option behind the plate, which lessens the Diamondbacks' need to lean heavily on any catcher for the duration of Moreno's absence.

Out of Monday's lineup McCann is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.

Impact McCann is slated to handle the bulk of the catching duties while Gabriel Moreno (back) is shelved, but he will begin Monday's festivities on the bench. Adrian Del Castillo will do the catching and bat cleanup for Arizona.

Impact McCann knocked in the Diamondbacks' first run with his second-inning double. It was the second straight contest with a run-scoring double for the catcher. With Arizona likely to place Gabriel Moreno (back) on the injured list, McCann is in line for regular at-bats. McCann is batting .200 with three doubles and three RBI over eight games played.

Filling in for injured Moreno McCann will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact With Gabriel Moreno (back) expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, McCann is poised to see extra work while splitting time behind the plate with Adrian Del Castillo. After producing a .755 OPS in 42 games for the Diamondbacks in 2025, McCann has struggled out of the gate this season, going 2-for-16 with a 1:6 BB:K in seven contests.

Delivers game-winning hit McCann went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

Impact McCann's two-run double completed the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 4-0 deficit. The catcher came off the bench after Gabriel Moreno (back) was removed and delivered the ultimate hit in Arizona's five-run fifth inning. It was just the second hit and first RBI of the season for McCann, who is 2-for-16 (.125) through seven games played. McCann will serve as the primary backstop until Moreno, who is considered day-to-day, is ready to play.
