Astros C McCann on DL again because of sore right knee

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Astros catcher Brian McCann has gone on the disabled list because of right knee discomfort for the second time this season.

McCann was put on the disabled list before the Astros played Tuesday night at the Texas Rangers. He wasn’t with the team in Arlington.

The move was retroactive to Monday, a day off for Houston.

Catcher Ted Federowicz was promoted from Triple-A Fresno. Right-hander Joe Smith was activated from the 10-day DL after missing 23 games because of right elbow soreness.
