Tue Aug 18 201519:17McKinney will miss rest of season with hairline fracture in foot
McKinney will miss the rest of the season with a hairline fracture in his foot, Tennessee Smokies announcer Justin Rocke reports.
McKinney, who may be the Cubs' best prospect still in the minor leagues, will visit the Cubs' orthopedic doctors this week to determine how long he will be sidelined, but returning this season has already been ruled out. Hopefully he will have enough time to get healthy in time for spring training next season, as he could be mid-summer call-up for the Cubs if he picks up where he left off in 2015.

McKinney, 20, is batting .253/.298/.389 with one home run and 11 RBI through 28 games since being promoted to Double-A.
McKinney has been cold of late, hitting just .167 over his last 10 games. McKinney is one of the youngest players at this level, though, so it could take a little while for him to get going.

McKinney is hitting .282/.333/.385 with four doubles and zero homers in 12 games since arriving at Double-A Tennessee.
The 20-year-old corner outfielder was clearly too advanced for High-A pitching, but he has struggled to hit for power initially at Double-A. That is to be expected, however, and given McKinney's age, it is impressive that he is just holding his own at the plate in 39 at-bats with the Smokies. He has emerged as a prospect that warrants consideration in all dynasty formats, as he could offer a plus hit tool and plus power at the major league level at some point next season.

McKinney was promoted to Double-A Tennessee.
McKinney was hitting .340/.432/.544 for Low-A Myrtle Beach in 29 games before the promotion. The 2013 first-round draft pick has the potential to be a star if he can keep this up in Double-A.
