4/13/24 McKinstry commits 3-run E, then allows 3-run HR. Third baseman Zach McKinstry accounted for six runs allowed in a bizarre 12th inning, as the Detroit Tigers dropped a lengthy 11-5 decision to the Minnesota Twins in the opening game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Already leading 5-4 in the 13th, the Twins took advantage of a based-loaded walk, and a three-run error by McKinstry at third, when Ryan Jeffers hit a grounder that went through his legs. Then, needing pitchers on a long day in which his club had already used five, Detroit manager AJ Hinch called on McKinstry to take the mound and help the Tigers get out of the inning.

3/01/24 Tigers notebook: Zach McKinstry refuses to take presumed roster security for granted. As he was refashioning his swing this offseason, Tigers super utility man Zach McKinstry watched a ton of video, studying the swings of some the best left-handed hitters the game has known. McKinstry understands how that might sound to people. After all, he's never been considered in the same category of hitter as Bonds and Griffey, Jr. But that's not the point. McKinstry spent the majority of his offseason at what the Tigers are jokingly calling Camp Arizona.

8/29/23 Tigers manager AJ Hinch gives master's seminar on nuances of contact play. It always seems like the contact play results in an out at home plate, does it not? Case in point: Zach McKinstry was going on contact from third base with one out in the sixth inning Monday night with the Tigers trailing the Yankees 1-0. Riley Greene hit a ball that barely got over pitcher Luis Severino's head. It was close enough to being caught in the air that McKinstry had to wait a beat.
