Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna was 2-for-2 with an RBI double to beat the Red Sox 6-2 Wednesday. Due to Austin Hays' (hand) absence, McKenna and Terrin Vavra may have an increased chance of getting more playing time. Playing in only 16 games this season so far, McKenna has only had 22 plate appearances. McKenna has been batting .263 with three RBI, two runs scored, two doubles, and one swiped bag. The 26-year-old has also served as a defensive replacement a few times.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna played a huge role in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Nationals. He went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run (the first of his career), and a strikeout. He also made a great diving catch in the sun and scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning. While it was a nice day for him, McKenna has provided very little fantasy value, slashing just .183/.280/.256 with five RBI in 94 plate appearances.
Ryan McKenna Optioned To Triple-A Norfolk Thursday
The Baltimore Orioles optioned outfielder Ryan McKenna to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, per BaltimoreBaseball.com's Rich Dubroff. The move was made to clear a roster spot for Anthony Santander (ankle), who is expected to be activated off of the injured list Friday after recovering from a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old has struggled with the O's this season, slashing .214/.333/.286 in 33 plate appearances.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna was optioned to the team's alternate site following Monday night's game, according to Dan Connolly of The Athletic. In the first 13 games of his major league career, McKenna is 3-for-15 with a triple, one RBI and five runs scored. It's believed McKenna was optioned so that the team could bring up infield depth, as Freddy Galvis deals with a groin injury. There's no reason to have McKenna rostered in redraft leagues at this time, but if he gets increased playing time later on he could be worth a look, as he has 10-homer, 20-steal potential.
The Baltimore Orioles have called up outfielder Ryan McKenna once again on Wednesday. He will be starting in right field and batting eighth in Wednesday's game against Trevor Rogers and the Miami Marlins. The move was made after the team placed Anthony Santander (ankle) on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle. Santander is expected to miss at least a few weeks. During that time, McKenna could see a decent amount of playing time. McKenna played in 11 games for the Orioles before he was sent to the team's alternate site. In that stretch, he went 2-for-10 with a triple and four runs.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna had a milestone day in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Red Sox. McKenna went 2-for-3 with a single, a triple (his first big league hit), and a strikeout. The 24-year-old has gotten off to a nice start to the season, slashing .286/.375/.571. McKenna was never really as player to watch in the minor leagues, so fantasy managers should wait to see more from him before forming a decision.
