Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Taking seat Monday
Rotowire
McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
McMahon will head to the bench for the first time since making his team debut July 26 and going 9-for-32 (.281average) with two doubles, five RBI and three runs through his first nine starts. Though he'll be taking a seat Monday while left-hander Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers, the left-handed-hitting McMahon won't necessarily be used as a strict platoon player.
McMahon is expected to be available to make his Yankees debut Saturday against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The Yankees acquired McMahon in a trade with the Rockies on Friday, but the veteran third baseman wasn't able to arrive in New York in time to make his debut in the series opener with the Phillies later that day. However, McMahon seems likely to be part of the starting nine Saturday, and he's slated to take over as New York's primary third baseman moving forward. Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas have been splitting starts at the hot corner of late, and both are expected to see fewer opportunities now that McMahon is in the fold.
