McKenry went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Monday's win over the Giants. With a career slash line of .240/.310/.396 over 755 plate appearances in the majors, McKenry has proven to be an average-to-pedestrian hitter by catcher standards, so it would seem the career-best .869 OPS he's currently sitting on can be attributed almost entirely to the Coors Effect. Thanks to a .404 BABIP in his 22 games at home this season that has netted him a .328 batting average, McKenry is probably worthy of a lineup spot in most NL-only and deeper mixed leagues when he has a heavy slate of home games. He should continue to receive a healthy amount of starts the rest of the way with Wilin Rosario (wrist) uncertain to return before season's end.

McKenry is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks. McKenry will receive the day game off Sunday following two starts behind the plate and a larger than normal workload as of late. Jackson Williams gets the start behind the plate Sunday and will bat eighth for the Rockies.

McKenry is out of the lineup Thursday against the Giants. McKenry will receive a well-deserved day of rest after starting five straight games, with Jackson Williams stepping in to catch Jordan Lyles. Wilin Rosario was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a wrist concern, meaning McKenry will serve as the primary option behind the plate for at least the next 10 days or so.

McKenry had another fine night at the plate, as he went 2-for-4 with one run scored and one RBI as he hit his fourth homer of the season on Friday against the Diamondbacks. The Rockies' backup catcher is playing nothing like a backup of late, driving out his second homer in as many games. McKenry (.363/.426/.560) has a lifetime .241 batting average so don't expect his stellar run to continue for too much longer.

McKenry hit his third home run of the season Wednesday against the Cubs, part of a 3-for-4 effort, knocking in three and scoring twice. It was a vintage Coors Field evening where McKenry was one of four Rockies to record multi-hit games. The 29-year-old catcher is putting up very fantastic numbers as Wilin Rosario's backup, slashing .356/.423/.529 in 87 at-bats on the season.

Michael McKenry went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. McKenry supplied all of the Rockies' offense on the evening, slamming a three-run shot to left field in the second inning off of Doug Fister. The catcher has hit well since being called up on June 4, but that was his first home run of the season. In 60 plate appearances, McKenry is slashing .321/.367/.464 with seven RBI.
