June 25, 2025 8:46 AM : McLain batted second and went 0-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.
Analysis: McLain was moved up to second in the order the previous two games against right-handers and was used in that same spot against a lefty Tuesday. It appears a recent surge has locked him in as the second hitter against pitchers of either handedness. Prior to his promotion up the batting order, McLain had batted .327 with a .917 OPS over 16 contests.
