Pirates selected the contract of 1B/OF Billy McKinney from Triple-A Indianapolis.
It’ll be the 2024 MLB debut for McKinney, who was hitting .295/.396/.450 in 40 games for Triple-A Indianapolis. Of course, hitting in Triple-A has never been any kind of problem for McKinney. Unfortunately, he’s come in at just .209/.284/.390 in 311 games over six major league seasons. The Pirates will give him some time against righties while Andrew McCutchen is out.
