McCann likely to rejoin team in Cleveland

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Tigers could be close to getting their Opening Day catcher back.

James McCann is scheduled to play two more games at Triple-A Toledo this weekend, and he will likely join the team for the upcoming trip to Cleveland, manager Brad Ausmus said on Saturday.

McCann has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 12 because of a right ankle sprain. McCann caught Friday's game for Toledo, and Ausmus said he will catch Saturday and Sunday as well.

McCann, who is 2-for-15 (.133 average) in four games with Detroit this season, is also 2-for-15 in Triple-A.
