McCoy went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.
McCoy started for just the second time in eight games since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso in late August. The infielder hasn't been able to supplant Jose Iglesias in the starting lineup on a regular basis, though McCoy has drawn both of his starts against right-handed pitchers despite being a righty hitter. His hit Saturday was his first of the season to go along with a 1:6 BB:K over 13 plate appearances, so he hasn't shown enough yet to push for a regular role.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
McCoy will fill in for Xander Bogaerts (foot), who's being placed on the 10-day injured list. McCoy has gone hitless in five plate appearances with the Padres this season, but he's logged an .804 OPS with 11 homers and 17 stolen bases with El Paso. McCoy will likely compete with Jose Iglesias for starts at the shortstop position.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Playing regularly at Triple-A
Rotowire
McCoy (finger) has slashed .353/.400/.627 with three home runs, two stolen bases, 12 RBI and 11 runs in 12 games for Triple-A El Paso since the Padres activated him from the 10-day injured list June 7 and optioned him to the minors.
McCoy appeared in four games for the Padres earlier this season before being placed on the IL on April 29 due to a sprained finger on his left hand. The 30-year-old infielder was cleared to begin a minor-league assignment May 20, and after his 20-day rehab window was nearing its end, the Padres opted to send him to their top affiliate. McCoy could be in the mix for a call-up with San Diego later on this summer if the big club has a need for a utility infielder.

Rotowire
McCoy (finger) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with two RBI.
McCoy has been shelved since late April with a sprained finger on his left hand. He will likely need a handful of rehab games and isn't a guarantee to be added back to the major-league roster once activated from the 10-day injured list.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Padres placed McCoy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained finger on his left hand.
McCoy is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A on April 21, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 days before getting another chance to record his first big-league hit of the season. Luis Arraez (concussion) will return from the injured list Tuesday to make up for the loss of McCoy in San Diego's infield.

Rotowire
McCoy is not projected to make the Padres' Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
McCoy was added to the 40-man roster over the weekend, but he has minor-league options remaining and the Padres will use one to send him to Triple-A El Paso. He will provide utility depth in the minors.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Padres selected McCoy's contract Saturday.
McCoy entered spring training in competition for a utility role, and he has seemingly earned a roster spot after slashing .273/.368/.515 across 33 at-bats in Cactus League action. He isn't likely to be a regular in the lineup but should be a primary backup at most infield positions.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Loses everyday role
Rotowire
McCoy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
On the bench for the fifth game in a row, McCoy appears to have lost hold of his everyday gig at shortstop in the absence of Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder). Even though Kim remains on the injured list, the Padres have opted to shift Xander Bogaerts from second base to shortstop to open up regular playing time in the infield for Donovan Solano.

McCoy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Since returning to the majors Aug. 21, McCoy has started in 16 games, and Tuesday marks the shortstop's third omission from the lineup in that span. Xander Bogaerts is shifting from second to shortstop with Jake Cronenworth sliding over from first to second base. Donovan Solano enters the lineup for McCoy as the first baseman, batting eighth.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Returns to big leagues
Rotowire
The Padres selected McCoy's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
McCoy will reach the big leagues for the second time in his career after previously getting a cup of coffee with the Blue Jays late in the 2023 season. The 29-year-old has enjoyed a decent season at El Paso with a .260/.329/.382 slash line and 25 stolen bases over 432 plate appearances, though it comes with the caveat that he's much older than most of his competition and has done most of his damage at hitter-friendly ballparks. McCoy is capable of playing both middle-infield spots and will give the Padres another option at shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is on the shelf, though Tyler Wade looks like he'll be first in line to replace Kim in the everyday lineup.

Padres' Mason McCoy: Cut from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Padres reassigned McCoy to minor-league camp Monday.
McCoy reached the big leagues for the first time in 2023 as a member of the Blue Jays, appearing in six games but logging just one plate appearances. He was moved off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster in September and caught on with the Padres on a minor-league deal in November, but the Friars likely don't envision the 28-year-old serving as anything more than organizational infield depth this season. McCoy is expected to report to Triple-A El Paso to begin the season.
