McGee has pitched just three innings in the major leagues in his career, striking out one and allowing zero runs. 

In the minors this season, McGee has been underwhelming, posting a 5.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts over 107.2 innings of work. In 27 appearances, he's made 22 starts and posted a 6-9 record. 

The twenty-four-year-old is a former fourth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2016 MLB Draft.
