SAN DIEGO -- With John Smoltz having already determined he can't attend, the Braves' only representative at this year's All-Star Game will be Brian McCann, who is hoping his own health issues won't prevent him from being able to play.

Concerned about a sprained right knee that he suffered in Tuesday night's loss to the Dodgers, the Braves determined that it would be best for McCann to have an MRI exam in San Diego on Friday.

Fortunately, the results showed no structural damage, providing McCann some peace of mind. Soon after getting the results, he was forced into action because of an injury suffered by Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
