Written by RotoWire Staff

Published on September 9, 2025

McKinstry was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to upper-back stiffness.

McKinstry lost what had been a six-game hitting streak during Sunday's contest, and his back will now force him to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. While he recovers, Trey Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
