Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Billy McKinney was traded to the New York Mets on Tuesday night, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The Mets sent left-handed pitcher Pedro Quintana to Milwaukee in the deal. The move comes one day after McKinney was designated for assignment by the Brewers, and mere hours after an MRI confirmed that Mets outfielder Johneshwy Fargas will be heading to the IL with an AC joint sprain that will sideline him for at least a couple weeks. McKinney didn't look very impressive over 40 games with Milwaukee, posting a .207 average and .359 slugging percentage, however his Statcast metrics suggest he was slightly unlucky at the plate this year, as he also owns a .252 xBA and .419 xSLG. He should figure to get plenty of playing time in New York with nearly all of the outfielders in their system currently on the injured list. He could be a decent guy in deep mixed and NL-only leagues to target for the next week or two until the Mets start having their regular outfielders return.--Michael

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired outfielder Billy McKinney from the New York Yankees on Thursday in exchange for international bonus pool money, according to a source. In 2023 with the Yankees, McKinney saw 147 plate appearances over 48 games and went 29-for-128 (.227) with six home runs and 14 RBI. He will strictly serve as veteran outfield depth for the rebuilding Pirates in 2024 but shouldn't expected to be anything more than a bench bat if he's at the major-league level. The 29-year-old outfielder has spent six years in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays, Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Oakland Athletics and Milwaukee Brewers but has hit just over the Mendoza Line and has only 34 home runs and 86 RBI in 311 games played.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Outfielder Billy McKinney and left-hander Anthony Misiewicz have both re-signed with the New York Yankees. Both contracts are of the minor-league variety. McKinney, whose career began with New York in the 2018 season, returned to the organization in the 2023 season and hit .227 with six home runs and one stolen base across 147 trips to the plate. His 101 wRC+ suggests his production was 1% superior to the league average. As for Misiewicz, the 29-year-old made 11 MLB appearances between the D-backs, Tigers, and Yankees in the 2023 season and worked to an unhealthy 7.36 ERA in that time. The southpaw owns a career 4.71 ERA across 130 big-league outings, most of which came with the Seattle Mariners as he made a career-high 66 appearances out of the Mariners' bullpen in the 2021 campaign.--Brenton Kemp

New York Yankees outfielder Billy McKinney is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. The journeyman returned to the Yankees on a minor-league deal this season and raked out of the gate following an early-June promotion. However, the 28-year-old is currently mired in a deep slump, hitting just .137 with two homers, one stolen base, and a .534 OPS across 61 plate appearances since June 25. His lack of production combined with the return of Aaron Judge will hurt his playing time moving forward, although he has produced a healthy .247 isolated power and .760 OPS against right-handed pitching on the season.--Brenton Kemp

New York Yankees outfielder Billy McKinney is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with right-hander Chase Anderson and the Colorado Rockies. The 28-year-old is slashing .228/.265/.443 with four homers, eight runs, seven RBI, and no steals across 27 games. Oswaldo Cabrera will take his place in the outfield and bat eighth. The second-year player has left a lot to be desired thus far through 75 games, batting .203 with four long balls and five stolen bases. However, with the club in Colorado, this is the best time to use Cabrera as a streaming option.--Spencer Seguin
