Overview

  • The Yankees acquired McMahon from the Rockies on July 25 in exchange for prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz.
  • In his first two games as a Yankee, the veteran third baseman is hitting .500 (3-for-6) with a 1.292 OPS.
  • McMahon has made highlight-reel plays, including a leaping grab on a Bryce Harper liner and a 360-degree spin-and-throw to retire Trea Turner.
  • His two-run double off Zack Wheeler ignited a four-run second inning that helped New York avoid a home sweep against the Phillies.
  • Manager Aaron Boone and starter Carlos Rodón have praised McMahon’s calm presence and athleticism as the Yankees seek stability before the deadline.
