    James McCann hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

    McCann briefly gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 lead with his two-run homer off Walker Buehler, but the Padres ended up scoring the next 10 and holding on for the win. McCann has homered seven times in 52 games with a solid slash of .283/.313/.461. He’s one of the better backup backstops in the sport.

    Diamondbacks recalled C Adrian Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno.

    Del Castillo returns to the big leagues as emergency catching depth behind James McCann after Gabriel Moreno suffered a minor hamstring injury during Friday’s win over the Padres.

    James McCann went 2-for-5 and launched his sixth home run of the season as the Diamondbacks triumphed over the Rockies at Coors Field on Thursday afternoon.

    McCann smacked a run-scoring single off of Tanner Gordon in the fourth inning that increased the Diamondbacks’ lead to 10-0. He then ambushed a first-pitch slider from Jimmy Herget in the sixth inning and crushed a 401-foot (108.7-mph EV) solo shot that made it a 12-1 ballgame. With his two-hit attack, the 36-year-old catcher is now hitting .286/.316/.449 with six homers and 26 RBI on the season.

    Ketel Marte is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Phillies.

    This is apparently a planned day off for Marte, who was just activated from the injured list on Monday with a knee injury. Marte had been the DH for the first two games of the series, so Gabriel Moreno will take that spot today with James McCann catching.

    Gabriel Moreno is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cubs.

    It seems like a routine day off for Moreno. James McCann will start behind the dish, and Nolan Arenado will DH with Jose Fernandez playing third base.

    Gabriel Moreno was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Padres.

    It sounds like Moreno is headed to the paternity list. The 26-year-old backstop will likely be away from the club for a couple days. It’ll be James McCann taking over behind the plate.

    James McCann went 4-for-6 and knocked in the go-ahead run in the 12th as the Diamondbacks held off the Pirates 8-7 on Tuesday.

    The Diamondbacks blew a 6-0 lead between the eighth and ninth, but they pulled the game out in the end. Both teams scored one run in the 10th and zero runs in the 11th before McCann singled in the automatic runner in the 12th. Gerardo Carrillo then pitched his second scoreless frame to maintain the 8-7 lead and pick up his first win as a major leaguer. McCann’s four-hit game was the fourth of his career; he had one each in 2016, 2019 and 2021. He’s been on an incredible roll since coming off the injured list earlier this month, going 12-for-22 with three homers and 10 RBI. Still, he’s played in just six of 19 games during that span. Maybe the team will begin giving him the occasional DH start against lefties until he cools off.

    James McCann finished 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and a walk Wednesday against the A’s.

    McCann isn’t playing much with Gabriel Moreno healthy and producing, but he’s gone 7-for-15 with three homers and eight RBI in four games since coming off the injured list on July 6. The D-backs used both catchers today, with Moreno DHing, and will probably keep that up from time to time until McCann cools off.

    James McCann homered twice in a win for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday over the Dodgers.

    Yep, that James McCann. He cemented the blowout with a three-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto — yep, that’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto — and he added another with a solo shot against Landon Knack. McCann is not in Arizona for his offense, and while this was an impressive effort, it’s impossible to predict any sort of consistent replication.

    Diamondbacks activated C James McCann from the 10-day injured list.

    McCann returns to Arizona’s catching mix as starter Gabriel Moreno’s backup following a nearly seven-week absence recovering from a quad strain that put him on the injured list back in late May. He showed some signs of life in his Diamondbacks debut last year and should be able to stick around in a reserve role for now.
