McCann (ankle) took batting practice and ran the bases on Friday and had no aftereffects, reports the Detroit Free Press.
McCann was placed on the 15-day disabled list April 12 after spraining his ankle in a game against the Pirates. He will likely be sent on a minor-league rehab assignment as early as this weekend and is eligible to return to the big club Wednesday. The key consideration will not be McCann's bat, but his ability to catch a full nine innings. He has already progressed to the point where he can throw from his knees to both first and second.
