McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry led off the third with a solo shot to center field to put the Dodgers up 2-1. It was the 26-year-old's first home run since April 14 and his fourth overall of the year. He's slashing .248/.302/.429 with 11 extra-base hits, 22 RBI, 14 runs scored, a steal and an 8:32 BB:K. The Dodgers have recently gotten all their everyday players back from injury aside from Corey Seager (hand), which will make it tough for McKinstry to see consistent playing time moving forward.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry had started in six of the Dodgers' last seven games, going 7-for-19 with three walks, two doubles, three RBI and three runs. His run of steady playing time will likely come to an end soon, as the Dodgers are expected to reinstate both Max Muncy (oblique) and Cody Bellinger (hamstring) from the injured list within the next few days.

McKinstry is not in the starting lineup Friday against Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry was present in the starting nine each of the previous five games, so the utility man will get a well-deserved rest for the series opener at Chase Field.

McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry singled his first time up and then roped an RBI double to the gap in right-center field and eventually came around to score as well. The 26-year-old has two multi-hit performances in his last three games but his slashing just .212/.270/.273 with seven hits, seven RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in 13 games since returning from the injured list May 29.

McKinstry went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry reached safely in all four of his plate appearances in a game for the first time this season. His third-inning double off Dane Dunning plated a pair of runs. The utilityman has filled in nicely for the Dodgers, slashing .263/.307/.450 with 20 RBI and 10 runs in 88 plate appearances.

McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base in a 14-3 rout of the Cardinals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The utilityman contributed to Los Angeles' 11-run first inning with a two-RBI single. He subsequently stole second base and came around to score on a Mookie Betts single. McKinstry had gone 0-for-10 since returning from the injured list May 29, so he'll look to build upon Wednesday's performance as he attempts to get back on track.

McKinstry (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinstry missed over a month due to an oblique strain but recently went on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 26-year-old should mainly work in a utility role, but he could be a candidate to start in right field against the Giants on Saturday since Mookie Betts will get a day off. McKinstry slashed .296/.328/.556 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 17 games with the Dodgers earlier in the season.

Manager Dave Roberts said McKinstry (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Saturday or Sunday versus the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been sidelined over a month by an oblique strain, but he's poised to rejoin the Dodgers in a few days after starting a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend. McKinstry should work in a utility role once activated after posting an .884 OPS through his first 17 appearances of the season.
