McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-1 win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry was called up from Triple-A on Thursday and saw his first big-league action in over a month Friday. He struck out in his first at-bat before launching a 376-foot, two-run shot to right field in the fourth inning. McKinstry has some pop -- he hit seven long balls in 158 at-bats with the Dodgers last season -- but isn't likely to receive enough playing time in the majors to be a viable fantasy asset.

McKinstry was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Since Kevin Pillar (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list, McKinstry will rejoin the Dodgers as a utility man after spending a month in the minors. Over 38 games in Oklahoma City this year, McKinstry has slashed .338/.424/.464 with two homers, 31 runs and 19 RBI. While the 27-year-old has some defensive versatility, he should serve as a depth option since Cody Bellinger is back in action Thursday.

The Dodgers optioned McKinstry to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry and reliever Carson Fulmer (designated for assignment) were casualties with the Dodgers having to reduce their active roster from 28 to 26 men ahead of Monday's deadline. The 27-year-old has received just one plate appearance across multiple short stints with the Dodgers this season, but he should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Oklahoma City.

McKinstry was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry was sent to the minors earlier in the week, but the Dodgers were able to bring him up just a few days later with pitcher Mitch White (illness) landing on the injured list. McKinstry has already been involved in several transactions this season, so his latest big-league stay could be brief.

McKinstry was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry had been on the active roster since Wednesday (aside from a brief blip Sunday when he was optioned and quickly recalled again) but received just a single plate appearance. His defensive versatility should continue to earn him the occasional opportunity, but he doesn't appear to be close to a regular role. Andre Jackson was called up to take his place on the roster.

The Dodgers recalled McKinstry from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Sunday's game against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Los Angeles had optioned McKinstry to Triple-A earlier in the day to make room on the 28-man active roster for reliever Reyes Moronta, but the utility man will end up rejoining the big club following David Price's surprise move to the IL just minutes before Sunday's series finale. McKinstry will give the Dodgers some extra versatility off the bench, but he's not expected to see meaningful at-bats while he's up with the big club.

McKinstry was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKintry has been with the big-league club since Wednesday and will move back to the minors without appearing in a game. He has yet to see MLB action this season and has a .404/.448/.673 slash line in 12 games with Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers recalled McKinstry from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list to open up a spot on the active roster for McKinstry, who will give the Dodgers another utility option off the bench for Wednesday's game against Atlanta with Gavin Lux (back) unavailable for the series finale. Lux is expected to return to the lineup for Friday's game in San Diego, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Dodgers elected to replace McKinstry on the roster with a pitcher at some point this weekend.

McKinstry was added to the Dodgers' taxi squad Wednesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times repots.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry has been in the minors since the start of the regular season, but he'll join the Dodgers as a precaution ahead of their road trip to San Diego and Arizona since Gavin Lux (back) is day-to-day. However, Lux is expected to return to the lineup Friday, and manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the team doesn't currently have plans to add McKinstry to the active roster.

McKinstry was optioned to minor-league camp Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry filled a utility role on-and-off for the Dodgers last season and won't open 2022 in the majors. The 26-year-old hit .215/.263/.405 in 172 plate appearances in the majors during the 2021 campaign.
