Billy McKinney - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting after all McKinney is starting Thursday's game against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact An earlier lineup listed Zach McKinstry as the starting right fielder Thursday, but the team issued a corrected lineup with McKinney starting in right field and batting seventh. The 26-year-old has hit .211 with a double, a run, an RBI and five walks across the last six games.

On bench Thursday McKinney isn't starting Thursday against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact McKinney had started in each of the last six games, but he'll get a breather after he went 2-for-9 with a run, an RBI and three walks across his last three appearances. Zach McKinstry will take over in right field and bat seventh.

Filling in for Mookie Betts McKinney will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact The Dodgers have wasted little time breaking in McKinney since acquiring him Wednesday. McKinney will man right field for the fourth game in a row Sunday, and he could end up sticking as an everyday player versus right-handed pitching if Mookie Betts' lingering hip issue forces him to the injured list. Through his first three games with Los Angeles, McKinney has gone 2-for-10 with a double and a pair of walks.

Traded to Dodgers McKinney was traded from the Mets to the Dodgers on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Carlos Rincon.

Impact McKinney was cast off the Mets' 40-man roster Friday, but he'll now join the Dodgers going forward. The 26-year-old has slashed .220/.304/.473 with five homers, 15 runs and 14 RBI in 39 major-league games this season. Since he has no minor-league options remaining, McKinney will report to Los Angeles and serve as a depth piece in the outfield.

DFA'd by Mets McKinney was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mets are finally fully healthy after being decimated by injuries early in the season, leading to McKinney losing his spot on the 40-man roster. He was a solid fill-in during his time in New York with a .220/.304/.4.73 slash line with five homers, 14 RBI and 15 runs in 39 games, and he could be claimed off waivers by another outfield-needy team. J.D. Davis (hand) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Sitting again Monday McKinney is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Impact Atlanta hasn't announced whether lefty Kyle Muller or righty Ian Anderson will serve as its starting pitcher for Game 1, but the lefty-hitting McKinney will nonetheless find himself on the bench for the third game in a row. McKinney has sat against a pair of southpaws (Jon Lester and Patrick Corbin) the past two days, so he would still seem to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield for now. McKinney will presumably shift into a reserve role when Michael Conforto (hamstring) and Brandon Nimmo (finger) are likely reinstated from the injured list by the end of the week.

Idle versus lefty McKinney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Takes seat for Game 2 McKinney isn't starting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact McKinney had started each of the last six games, but he'll get a breather after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Saturday's matinee. Kevin Pillar will shift to right field while Albert Almora starts in center field.

Returning as expected Mckinney (knee) will start in right field and bat fifth Monday against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old sat out the past two games with soreness in his right knee, but he'll rejoin the lineup Monday. McKinney has hit well in 13 games since being acquired by the Mets with a .302/.362/.744 slash line, four homers, five doubles and 12 RBI.

Impact Mason Williams will replace McKinney in the outfield Sunday, but the latter could still be available off the bench if his sore right knee responds well to a pregame workout. Since being acquired from the Brewers on May 25, McKinney has settled into a near-everyday role for the banged-up Mets, slashing .302/.362/.744 with four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs and one stolen base in 14 games.

Day-to-day with knee soreness Manager Luis Rojas said Saturday that an MRI on McKinney's sore right knee came back clean, leaving the outfielder day-to-day for the time being, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact McKinney was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Padres, but given Rojas's postgame update, it doesn't appear that the knee issue is serious. The 26-year-old will be further evaluated Sunday, but at this point he seems unlikely to land on the IL.
