Brian McCann said Saturday that he was encouraged with the update that he received on his surgically-repaired right shoulder.

While he's still likely two months away from playing in a major league game, it's at least a step in the right direction for the injury-riddled backstop. He's recently increased his throwing program to a distance of 90 feet, and is slowly regaining his arm strength. As of now, he's slated to miss at least the first two weeks of the regular season.
