ZACH MCKINSTRY NEWS

Should return Saturday or Sunday Manager Dave Roberts said McKinstry (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Saturday or Sunday versus the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has been sidelined over a month by an oblique strain, but he's poised to rejoin the Dodgers in a few days after starting a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend. McKinstry should work in a utility role once activated after posting an .884 OPS through his first 17 appearances of the season.

May return next weekend Manager Dave Roberts said "it's fair" to expect McKinstry (oblique) to return from the injured list against the Giants next weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 26-year-old began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City alongside Cody Bellinger (lower leg) on Friday, and the pair are on track to rejoin the Dodgers next weekend. McKinstry has been sidelined since April 20 with the oblique issue and will take about a week's worth of rehab games before being activated.

Ready for rehab assignment McKinstry (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday or Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact A right oblique strain has sidelined McKinstry since April 20. He's nearly ready to begin playing in minor-league games and will join the Dodgers' top minor-league affiliate right away. It's not clear how much time he'll need to shake the rust, but expect McKinstry to have a regular role waiting for him after the 26-year-old impressed with a .296/.328/.556 slash line in 17 games to begin the regular season. He can play second base, third and both corner outfield positions.
