McCann was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Adley Rutschman has been scratched due to an illness, so McCann will now start behind the plate and bat eighth versus the Red Sox and right-hander Nick Pivetta. Ryan O'Hearn is serving as the Orioles' designated hitter.
James McCann Back in lineup Friday
McCann (hand) is back in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.
Analysis: McCann will start at catcher and bat sixth after missing a couple of games due to a bruised left hand. He was slashing .464/.515/.714 through 33 plate appearances in August prior to that minor injury and has a favorable matchup Friday versus Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland.
