Designated for assignment The Brewers designated McKinney for assignment Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact After providing an early-season spark for the injury-troubled Brewers, McKinney had been a non-factor of late offensively and no longer merited a roster spot, especially now that Christian Yelich is active once again.

Fading into bench role McKinney is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Even with Christian Yelich (back) returning to the injured list just one game after being activated, McKinney looks like he'll be relegated to fourth-outfielder duties since Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) also came off the IL the same day as Yelich. Cain, Jackie Bradley and Avisail Garcia are expected to serve as Milwaukee's everyday outfielders until Yelich rejoins the mix.

The Brewers front office can officially say 'I told you so' when it comes to Billy McKinney "By far, that was the play of the year," Corbin Burnes said of McKinney's diving catch in the fourth inning. And did we mention his HR?

APRIL 21, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Homers in back-to-back games McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.

Impact McKinney slammed a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the third inning Tuesday. After hitting no homers this season prior to Monday, the 26-year-old has two long balls in as many days. The outfielder is likely going to revert to the bench once Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) return from the 10-day injured list, which could come as soon as next week.

Slugs first home run of season McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

Impact McKinney took advantage of a mislocated cutter from Joe Musgrove and sent it into the seats in right to put the Brewers up 2-1 in the fifth. Despite cranking his first home run of the year, McKinney hasn't been doing very well at the plate lately, as he's slashed .176/.222/.353 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in five games since entering the starting lineup April 14 against the Cubs. However, he should continue to see regular playing time in the near term with both Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) currently on the 10-day injured list.
