• Astros' Alex McKenna: Returns to Quad Cities

  Rotowire May 1, 2019

  McKenna (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in his 2019 debut with Low-A Quad Cities on Tuesday. His start to the season was delayed by a hamstring injury. McKenna played center field and led off in his return to Quad Cities; he played 12 games with the affiliate last year following a promotion from short-season Tri City. The 132nd overall pick in last year's draft, McKenna is now 21 years old and the bat is advanced enough for him to potentially jump multiple levels over the remainder of this season.

• Astros' Alex McKenna: Recovering from hamstring injury

  Rotowire Apr 4, 2019

  McKenna is in extended spring training recovering from a hamstring injury, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports. He will likely head to Low-A Quad Cities once fully healthy. McKenna, 21, hit .328/.423/.534 with five homers and six steals in 32 games with short-season Tri-City after being drafted with the 132nd overall pick in last year's draft. His production fell off a little in a brief cup of coffee at Low-A, but he likely won't face much resistance until he reaches the age-appropriate level of Double-A.
