McKinstry was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old will take the roster spot of Mookie Betts, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cracked rib in a corresponding move.

McKinstry has hit well at Oklahoma City this year with a .328/.414/.463 slash line in 46 contests.

McKinstry will likely get recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This wouldn't generally be that interesting for fantasy, but Mookie Betts was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cracked rib, so McKinstry could see playing time against right-handed pitching in the short term. He is hitting .330/.417/.469 with three home runs in 45 games at Triple-A.
