Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Zach McKinstry (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old was scratched from Thursday night's game against the Padres due to back tightness and was subsequently replaced by Luke Raley out in right field.

He is off to a scorching hot start, slashing .319/.353/.617 with three long balls already. By being a Dodger, he's getting press and a reasonable amount of ...

We are now four weeks into the MLB season and some interesting trends are beginning to emerge with the rookie class of 2021.
