McCann will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

With Adley Rutschman getting a day off from catching duties and serving as the Orioles' designated hitter, McCann will settle in behind the plate.

Trevino (illness) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.

Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
