Fantasy Impact:

McKinstry’s .215/.277/.337 line with four homers and 16 steals over 118 games last year, paired with Jung’s demotion, locks in his platoon with Ibáñez while Matt Vierling heals. His multi-position flexibility boosts his case. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can roster him for speed and versatility early in the Tigers’ lineup.
