Baseball Betting Lines

04/21/2009 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann returned to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Washington Nationals after missing two games with blurred vision in his left eye.

McCann, who is hitting .200 this year with two homers and seven RBI, went to an eye doctor in Washington on Tuesday and was fitted for a contact lens that appears to have corrected the problem.

The backstop sat out Sunday and Monday's bouts after going hitless in his previous five games.
