Blue Jays' Billy McKinney: Called up from Buffalo

McKinney was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

McKinney will make the journey back to the big leagues after playing in two games for the Yankees at the beginning of this season. Following a trade to Toronto in July, McKinney continued to play at the Triple-A level, slashing .203/.292/.453 with three home runs and eight RBI in 19 games with Buffalo. Though he's struggled a bit lately, he should receive at least semi-regular playing time with a Blue Jays team already looking ahead to 2019.
