McCann started all five games against the Cardinals but went 3-for-16 with a double and a walk. He said he made the decision to retire in September. McCann finishes his 15-year career with a .262/.337/.452 slash line, 282 home runs, 1,018 RBI and seven All-Star appearances. The 35-year-old spent 10 seasons with the Braves, three with the Yankees and two with the Astros.

McCann will sit for the fourth time in the last five games as manager Brian Snitker continues to heavily rotate his catchers in September. Tyler Flowers will start behind the plate and bat seventh Friday.

McCann will sit for the third time in four games as Tyler Flowers picks up another start behind the dish Wednesday. Since the start of September, the veteran backstop is slashing .176/.222/.382 with two home runs and six RBI in 10 games.

McCann will be held out for the second day in a row as manager Brian Snitker gets his regulars some rest in advance of the postseason. Tyler Flowers will get the start behind the plate for the Braves on Sunday afternoon.
