Flashes wheels Friday Alford entered Friday's loss to the Red Sox as a pinch runner for Rowdy Tellez in the eighth inning and stole two bases.
Impact With Boston clinging to a one-run lead at the time, Alford swapped in for Tellez after the latter drew a one-out walk and immediately put himself in scoring position by stealing second, then swiped third as well after Vladimir Guerrero also earned a free pass off Matt Barnes. However, the rally ended when Randal Grichuk grounded into a double play. Alford has only seven plate appearances in his seven games this season, but he's made the most of his opportunities with three steals in three attempts. If the 26-year-old ever gets a chance at more consistent playing time, he could prove to be a fantasy asset.

Collects first hit of 2020 Alford got the start in left field Tuesday and went 1-for-2 with an RBI.
Impact Lourdes Gurriel was rotating through the DH spot, opening up left field for Alford, and the 26-year-old responded with his first hit and RBI of the year. He's appeared in five games so far but only has four at-bats, primarily being used as a pinch runner or defensive replacement, and barring a rash of injuries to the Jays' outfield, Alford's unlikely to work his way into a more prominent role.

Could be squeezed off MLB roster McKinney went 6-for-26 (.231) with a solo home run and a 3:10 BB:K this spring before the Grapefruit League schedule was suspended.
Impact The lackluster spring numbers don't help his case to win a job on the 26-man roster, but the most important number for McKinney was likely always one -- as in, his one remaining minor-league option, something neither Derek Fisher nor Anthony Alford possesses. Even if the Jays elect to part ways with one of those outfielders, that wouldn't guarantee McKinney a roster spot once the regular season begins, as the club could elect to keep Rowdy Tellez in the majors instead as insurance for Travis Shaw at first base.
