McCann left today's Spring Training game with, as Al Michaels would say, "a hand."

MLB.com just broke the news that Braves all-star catcher Brian McCann left today’s Spring Training game with an injury after taking a Mark Teixeira foul ball off his hand. It’s likely a precautionary move, but even if it’s not a major injury, the all-star catcher will more than likely miss the rest of Spring Training.

Teixeira was McCann’s teammate in 2007 and 2008. You think you know a guy!

Update: AJC.com is reporting that McCann’s injury ’tis but a flesh wound:

“Braves Nation could breath a collective sigh of relief Saturday after Brian McCann’s finger injury was diagnosed as a mere bruise.

“The All-Star catcher was struck in the right ring finger by a foul tip off the bat of former teammate Mark Teixeira in the first inning of Saturday’s 6-4 loss to the New York Yankees.”

Bobby Cox told AJC the team “caught a break.” No foolin’, especially since McCann’s backup is David Ross, whose OPS+ over the past three years has been 130, 68 and 88 (that’s actually pretty great for a backup catcher), whereas McCann’s has been 143, 100 and 104.
