Tigers' James McCann: Back in lineup following three-game absence

McCann will start at catcher Sunday against the White Sox and bat eighth in the lineup.

Analysis:

Though McCann is behind the plate for Sunday's game, he had sat out the previous three contests in favor of Jarrod Saltalamacchia. McCann has followed up a promising rookie year with a dud of season in 2016, slashing just .197/.245/.303 across 205 plate appearances. Until he turns a corner offensively, he may have to settle for a timeshare at catcher with Saltalamacchia.
