Overview

• The Yankees acquired McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on July 25 to address chronic defensive lapses at third base.
• He has made multiple highlight-reel plays, including robbing Bryce Harper with an over-the-shoulder catch and a 360-degree spin throw to outpace Trea Turner.
• McMahon’s two-run double off Zack Wheeler ignited a four-run second inning that lifted New York to a 4-3 win and prevented a Phillies series sweep.
• Through his first six plate appearances in pinstripes, he is hitting .500 with a 1.292 OPS, exceeding expectations for his bat.
• Manager Aaron Boone praised McMahon’s athleticism and composure and is considering platooning him at third to maximize both offense and defense.
