Sitting again McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Sits against lefty McKinstry isn't starting Friday against the Brewers.

Retreats to bench McKinstry is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact McKinstry was included in the lineup in each of the past three games and went 2-for-12 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base and a run. Patrick Wisdom will cover third base Tuesday, but McKinstry may be the Cubs' preferred option at the position at the moment.

Swipes first bag with Chicago McKinstry went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.
Impact Acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline, McKinstry has started five of the last six games for the Cubs, going 6-for-20 (.300) with two doubles, two runs scored and Monday's steal -- his first of the season. He's been deployed exclusively against right-handed pitching so far by Chicago, bouncing between second base and third base as his new club determines whether the 27-year-old has a place in its future plans.

Tallies three hits Tuesday McKinstry went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Nationals.
Impact McKinstry tallied his first three hits for the Cubs in his sixth game with the team. The 27-year-old has the versatility to play all over the field, though he seems like more of a reserve player in Chicago at this point, particularly with Nick Madrigal taking on a larger role at second base. That limits McKinstry's fantasy value for now, but he could see an uptick if he earns more playing time.

Remains on bench Monday McKinstry isn't starting Monday against the Nationals.
Impact McKinstry went 0-for-13 with five strikeouts over his first four games with the Cubs and will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Nick Madrigal is starting at second base and batting eighth.

Out of Sunday's lineup McKinstry is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Impact McKinstry is 1-for-14 with six strikeouts through his first five games with Chicago and will head to the bench Sunday. Nick Madrigal will start at the keystone in the series finale versus Miami.
AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Game 2 McKinstry is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Impact McKinstry started the past two contests and went 0-for-4 during Chicago's Game 1 loss, and he'll take a seat for the nightcap. Nick Madrigal will man the keystone for the Cubs in the second game of the twin bill.

Traded to Cubs McKinstry was traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for Chris Martin, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Impact A 33rd round pick in 2016, McKinstry has a .323/.401/.550 slash line with 18 home runs in 114 games at Triple-A, but his .210/.266/.403 career line in 74 games in the majors is less impressive. He has played at every position besides catcher, first base and center field this year alone, so his defensive versatility is a big plus.

Back from IL McKinstry (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
