Billy McKinney Stats

New York Yankees outfielder Billy McKinney is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. The journeyman returned to the Yankees on a minor-league deal this season and raked out of the gate following an early-June promotion. However, the 28-year-old is currently mired in a deep slump, hitting just .137 with two homers, one stolen base, and a .534 OPS across 61 plate appearances since June 25. His lack of production combined with the return of Aaron Judge will hurt his playing time moving forward, although he has produced a healthy .247 isolated power and .760 OPS against right-handed pitching on the season.

New York Yankees outfielder Billy McKinney is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with right-hander Chase Anderson and the Colorado Rockies. The 28-year-old is slashing .228/.265/.443 with four homers, eight runs, seven RBI, and no steals across 27 games. Oswaldo Cabrera will take his place in the outfield and bat eighth. The second-year player has left a lot to be desired thus far through 75 games, batting .203 with four long balls and five stolen bases. However, with the club in Colorado, this is the best time to use Cabrera as a streaming option.

New York Yankees outfielder Billy McKinney went 1-for-3 with a home run in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Texas Rangers. The 28-year-old stopgap solution has reached base safely in each of his 15 games for the Yankees and has smacked three homers in five games for a mini power surge. It's a feel-good story for McKinney, who has bounced around the majors as much as anyone in recent years. The journeyman southpaw is hitting .320 with a 1.006 OPS, four long balls, and seven RBI across 50 at-bats. It's hard to envision much of a rest-of-season outlook for McKinney, but it's slightly clearing up in the short-term with Aaron Judge (toe) without a return timetable.
