McKinney went 2-for-5 with a run, RBI, stolen base and strikeout in a 6-2 win over San Diego on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting first, McKinney knocked an RBI single in the third inning and followed it up with a single, steal of second and subsequent run in the sixth to play a role in two of the first three Met runs. The outfielder is 8-for-33 in near-regular playing time since debuting with New York on May 27 and looks to see decent at-bats until more Mets return from injury.

McKinney is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Slowly but surely, the Mets are getting some everyday players back from the injury list, but McKinney looks like he'll still have a line on a strong-side platoon role. With southpaw Madison Bumgarner on the mound for Arizona, the lefty-hitting McKinney will cede duties in right field to the righty-hitting Brandon Drury. McKinney had started the previous five games, going 4-for-17 with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI and four runs.

McKinney was acquired by the Mets from the Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Pedro Quintana, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney was designated for assignment by Milwaukee over the weekend, and New York opted for a trade rather than risk losing out on a waiver claim. He got off to a solid start for the Brewers but had a .619 OPS by the time he was DFA'd. The 26-year-old will provide some much-needed outfield depth for the injury-plagued Mets.

The Brewers designated McKinney for assignment Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After providing an early-season spark for the injury-troubled Brewers, McKinney had been a non-factor of late offensively and no longer merited a roster spot, especially now that Christian Yelich is active once again.

McKinney isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney had gone 0-for-10 with a walk and five strikeouts in his last three games. Jackie Bradley will shift to left field while Lorenzo Cain starts in center field.

McKinney is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Christian Yelich (back) returning to the injured list just one game after being activated, McKinney looks like he'll be relegated to fourth-outfielder duties since Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) also came off the IL the same day as Yelich. Cain, Jackie Bradley and Avisail Garcia are expected to serve as Milwaukee's everyday outfielders until Yelich rejoins the mix.

McKinney is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney went 2-for-6 with two walks and one run in the past two games but will head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles. Tyrone Taylor will receive the start in left field, batting second.

McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney slammed a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the third inning Tuesday. After no homers this season prior to Monday, the 26-year-old has two long balls in as many days. The outfielder is likely going to revert back to the bench once Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) return from the 10-day injured list, which could come as soon as next week.

McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney took advantage of a mislocated cutter from Joe Musgrove and sent it into the seats in right to put the Brewers up 2-1 in the fifth. Despite cranking his first home run of the year, McKinney hasn't been doing very well at the plate lately, as he's slashed .176/.222/.353 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in five games since entering the starting lineup April 14 against the Cubs. However, he should continue to see regular playing time in the near term with both Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) currently on the 10-day injured list.

McKinney will start in left field and bat sixth Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Set to make his fourth straight start Sunday, McKinney appears to have emerged as the primary replacement in left field for the injured Christian Yelich (back). Over his first three starts in place of Yelich, McKinney has gone 2-for-9 with a walk, two runs and two RBI.
