Zach McKinstry Expected To Make Opening Day Roster
Detroit Tigers infielder Zach McKinstry is expected to make the Opening Day roster. With Matt Vierling (shoulder) expected to open the season on the injured list, McKinstry has a viable path to opening the season in the major leagues. Earlier in the offseason, McKinstry inked a one-year deal worth $1.65 million to avoid arbitration. The 29-year-old appeared in 118 contests for Detroit last season. Across this stint, McKinstry posted a .215/.277/.337 slash line with four home runs and 16 stolen bases. He showed a solid eye at the plate as he only struck out at a 21.2 percent of the time. However, he also generated a modest .238 xBA with a .364 xSLG. Fantasy managers should expect McKinstry to operate in a utility role during the 2025 campaign once again and will carry value in deeper AL-only formats.
