McKinney went 3-for-3 with a run scored as a pinch-hitter in Monday's win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney has seen limited at-bats so far this season, and in fact, this was the first time he saw more than one plate appearance this year. He took advantage of the opportunity and recorded three hits, but the 26-year-old outfielder should remain as a bench alternative going forward.

McKinney went 5-for-8 (.625) with three home runs and five RBI over his last four spring games.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney did not hit much early in the spring, but he has come on at the right time, stacking up hits with the Brewers about a week away from setting their Opening Day roster. The former Blue Jay is out of options, which will likely help his cause when decision day rolls around.

McKinney was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Monday and sent to the alternate training site.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney was cast off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster Friday, and he'll work at the Brewers' alternate training site in Appleton going forward. The 26-year-old made three brief appearances on Toronto's active roster in 2020 and could be a candidate be called up prior to the end of the season. McKinney appeared in just two games this season, but he slashed .215/.274/.422 with 12 home runs and 28 RBI over 84 major-league games in 2019.

McKinney was designated for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney has spent three very brief stints on the active roster this season, appearing in just two games. He's still just 26 years old and owns a respectable 91 wRC+ in 124 career big-league games, so there's a chance he gets claimed off waivers.

McKinney was recalled from the alternate training site Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old takes the roster spot of Rowdy Tellez, who was placed on the injured list with a knee strain. McKinney has appeared in only two games this season and went 2-for-3 with one run, and he had a .696 OPS and 12 homers in 84 contests in 2019.

McKinney went 2-for-3 with a run scored in the 3-2 win over the Phillies in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney was recalled to the big-league roster earlier in the day to serve as the 29th man for the doubleheader. The outfielder logged a pair of singles and also scored the game-tying run in the sixth inning.

The Blue Jays recalled McKinney from their alternate training site to serve as their 29th man for Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney will provide the Blue Jays with an extra left-handed bat off the bench, but he likely won't be in line for an extended stay with the big club. Over 408 career big-league plate appearances, McKinney has slashed .227/.268/.435 (90 wRC+) with 18 home runs.

McKinney was optioned to the Blue Jays' taxi squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney has been shuffled between the major-league roster and the alternate squad to begin the season, and he'll serve on the taxi squad after Chase Anderson (oblique) was activated ahead of his scheduled start Saturday. The outfielder will be available to step in on short notice during the team's current road trip.

McKinney was added to Toronto's active roster Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Derek Fisher (quad) was sent to the injured list Wednesday, freeing up a spot on the big-league roster for McKinney. The 25-year-old, who hit .215/.274/.422 with 12 home runs in 84 games last season, should fill a reserve outfield role during his time in the majors.

McKinney was optioned to the Blue Jays' alternate training site Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old earned a spot on the Opening Day roster but didn't see the field during the first two games. McKinney figures to rejoin the big-league club at some point this season, but he's likely to remain limited to a reserve role.
