The Atlanta Braves saw catcher Brian McCann leave Saturday’s game.

McCann left the game after just two innings. He has been diagnosed with tendinitis in his right hamstring.

He has been replaced by back up catcher David Ross, who will fill in for McCann until he is ready to return. He is considered day-to-day.

He grounded out in his lone at-bat in the game. When he left, it was first thought that he left with a shoulder injury, which has been bothering him for a while now.

No win for Medlen, Braves victorious anyway

Via Fox Sports South  |  September 15, 2012
ATLANTA The confidence never left Kris Medlen. Not when he had Tommy John surgery. Not when he missed nearly an entire season while rehabbing his right elbow. And not when he started this season in the Braves' bullpen. That's just how he thinks, how he attacks life. It's not cockiness or arrogance. He just thinks he can beat you. Medlen is the guy with the straight...

Happy Kris Medlen Day, Braves Fans, But Are you Nervous Yet?

Via Off The Bench  |  September 14, 2012
With 2011 still painfully fresh in their minds and an eerily similar position in the standings, the 2012 Atlanta Braves have to be at least a little nervous about where they stand in relation to the playoffs. I know it took a historic collapse and one of the most dramatic nights in baseball history to see the Wild Card lead finally disappear in 2011, the 2012 standings look very...

After sweeping the Mets, nobody would have imagined the Braves would in turn be swept out of Milwaukee. But it happened and all the Braves can do is move forward, shooting for a Wild Card spot. Some interesting, sometimes aggravating things happened in Milwaukee. The Braves scored only 3 runs in 3 games. Scores from each of the 3 games add to the Braves record of having scored two...

Braves-Marlins Preview

By sweeping a series from the NL East leaders, the Atlanta Braves have managed to stay in the conversation for the division crown. A far more realistic way to make the playoffs is securing the NL's first wild card, and a series with the last-place Miami Marlins should help with that endeavor, especially with Tim Hudson set to pitch.
