McKinney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney had been on the bench for four of the Yankees' previous five games, but all of those absences from the lineup had come with the opposition bringing left-handed pitchers to the hill. The lefty-hitting outfielder will now be sitting out Monday against a right-hander (Tyler Wells), with both McKinney and fellow lefty hitter Jake Bauers ceding their spots in the corner outfield to a pair of right-handed hitters in Giancarlo Stanton and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

McKinney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with all four absences coming against left-handed pitching. McKinney owns a respectable .801 OPS in 65 plate appearances since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 7, so he could still be in line for steady playing time versus right-handers until Aaron Judge (toe) makes his way back from the injured list.

McKinney is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

With the Yankees facing a lefty (Hogan Harris) for the second day in a row, McKinney will once again take a seat after he was also on the bench for Wednesday's 11-0 win. Since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 7, McKinney has produced an .884 OPS over 59 plate appearances, making him one of the Yankees' more productive hitters during that stretch. He should be able to see at least semi-regular playing time versus right-handed pitching until he cools off.

McKinney went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder took Jon Gray deep in the fourth inning, and that proved to be the game's only spark of offense. McKinney has gone yard three times in the last five contests, and since his addition to the roster early in the month he's hit safely in 14 of 15 games, generating a .320/.346/.660 slash line with half of his 16 hits (three doubles, a triple and four homers) going for extra bases. Aaron Judge (toe) still lacks a clear timeline for his return, so McKinney figures to remain a fixture in the lineup as long as he keeps producing.

McKinney went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-2 victory versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney hit one of three long balls for New York in the contest, drilling a solo shot to right field in the fourth inning. It was the second straight game with a homer for the outfielder, who has taken on a near-everyday role since Aaron Judge went on the IL with a toe injury two weeks ago. McKinney has performed well in Judge's absence, slashing .317/.333/.659 with three homers and five RBI over 42 plate appearances.

McKinney went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney crushed a sinker from George Kirby that was left over the middle of the plate to put the Yankees up 3-0 in the third. The 28-year-old has recorded at least one base hit in all but one game since being called up June 8. He's now slashing .289/.308/.579 with two homers, four RBI, five runs and a 1:6 BB:K over 39 plate appearances.

McKinney will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

With Harrison Bader (hamstring) and Aaron Judge (toe) on the injured list, McKinney has moved into a near-everyday role in the Yankees outfield following his promotion from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. He'll pick up his fifth consecutive start Sunday after recording exactly one hit -- including three extra-base knocks -- in each of his first four games with New York.

McKinney went 2-for-6 with a triple, a solo home run and two total runs across both games of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney started in center field in the matinee and in left field in the nightcap. He came up with an extra-base hit in each contest, tripling and scoring in Game 1 and belting a solo shot in Game 2. These were the first two major-league games of the campaign for McKinney, who was called up Thursday after Aaron Judge (toe) was placed on the injured list. McKinney is highly unlikely to replicate Judge's numbers, but he has a bit of power in his own right, as he went deep nine times in 40 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to his call-up.

The Yankees selected McKinney's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney has the unenviable task of filling the roster spot of Aaron Judge (toe), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. He's performed well at Triple-A this season, slashing .274/.388/.511 with nine home runs. McKinney should see some playing time versus righties as the Yankees deal with multiple outfield injuries, and he's capable of filling in at first base as well.

McKinney was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney signed with the Yankees as a non-roster invitee in December, and it's hardly a surprise he won't be included on the Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old had a .476 OPS in 14 spring games and is coming off a 2022 campaign during which he went 5-for-52 in 23 contests for the Athletics.
