McCann (back) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Just as manager Buck Showalter said would be the case, McCann is ready to go after he was sidelined for game action over the past week while dealing with back soreness. The missed time shouldn't affect McCann's preparation for Opening Day. He's projected to serve as the Mets' clear No. 1 catcher in 2022 after the team didn't add much in the way of competition during the offseason.
