"Brian McCann missed his third straight game Saturday with a strained right quadriceps.

Braves manager Bobby Cox said the catcher was "80 to 90 percent" and was held out of the lineup again as a precaution.

McCann did agility work in the outfield hours before the start of Saturday's game.

"There is no sense pushing it," said McCann, who described himself as day-to-day. "It's getting better.""
