Hits first homer McKenna went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, three runs and a stolen base in Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Rangers.
Impact McKenna picked an ideal time to launch his first home run of the season, as his eighth-inning solo shot put Baltimore ahead 8-7, though Texas quickly retook the lead in the following frame. The 25-year-old continues to see occasional starts as the Orioles' No. 4 outfielder, though he could see an uptick in playing time if Austin Hays (wrist) requires a stint on the injured list.

Notches steal as pinch runner McKenna stole a base as a pinch runner in Friday's 1-0 win over the Rays.
Impact McKenna ran for Anthony Santander in the ninth inning, and the former earned his first steal of the season. After going 2-for-14 (.143) while starting three times in Toronto, McKenna is expected to resume a bench role with the Orioles back stateside. He's batting .238/.300/.317 with four RBI, eight runs scored and five doubles across 70 plate appearances as a reserve outfielder this year.

Nabs third consecutive start McKenna will start in left field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Despite going hitless in eight at-bats while starting in both of the past two contests, McKenna will get the starting nod in the corner outfield over rookie Kyle Stowers in the series finale. Stowers is likely to head back to Triple-A Norfolk once Anthony Santander (personal) returns from the restricted list this weekend, at which point McKenna will presumably move back into a fourth-outfielder role.

On base three times Sunday McKenna went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.
Impact McKenna made a rare start in center field and made the most of the opportunity, accounting for half of the Orioles' hits Sunday. While he rarely sees more than a start or two each week, the 25-year-old outfielder has posted a reasonable .255/.333/.340 slash line in 54 plate appearances. He's added three RBI, six runs scored and four doubles, but he's yet to hit a home run or steal a base in 2022.

Sits in fourth straight McKenna remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact After a recent stretch of five starts in the Baltimore outfield over six games, McKenna finds himself on the bench for the fourth straight contest. With Ryan Mountcastle returning from the 10-day injured list over the weekend, the Orioles have all their key position players available, so McKenna is likely to receive limited at-bats moving forward.

Gets fourth straight start McKenna will start in right field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact McKenna will be making his fourth start in a row out of the outfield, but his time as an everyday player could end by the weekend, when Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list. Even if Mountcastle takes longer than anticipated to make it back from the IL, McKenna could still find himself pushed into a utility role in favor of Tyler Nevin, who has been seeing most of his time in the infield of late while Ramon Urias (abdomen) and Jorge Mateo (shoulder) have nursed minor injuries.

Recalled by Orioles McKenna was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Impact McKenna was sent down by the Orioles at the beginning of May, but he'll rejoin the major-league club to provide outfield depth. Over 18 big-league games this year, he's hit .263 with two doubles, four runs and two RBI.

Heading to Triple-A McKenna was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact McKenna served as outfield depth for Baltimore early in the year, and he went 5-for-19 with two doubles, four runs and two RBI over 17 games. The 25-year-old will report to the minors since the Orioles need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday, but he'll be a strong candidate to rejoin the big-league club at some point if the team's outfielders deal with injuries.

On base three times McKenna went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Thursday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees.
Impact McKenna has served as a bench player for much of the season, often entering as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. Thursday was his first multi-hit game. The outfielder is slashing .250/.350/.375 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and four runs scored across 20 plate appearances. He's unlikely to displace any of Austin Hays, Cedric Mullins or Anthony Santander from a starting role.

Claims Opening Day roster spot Manager Brandon Hyde confirmed Wednesday that McKenna will be included on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact He'll be one of two utility players on the 28-man active roster, as non-roster invitee Chris Owings was also informed that he's made the team. Baltimore is expected to have all of its top position players available for the start of the season, so McKenna likely won't pick up many starts in April and could see most of his opportunities as a pinch-hitter or late-inning defensive replacement.
