McCormick went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's victory over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick powered the Astros' offense again Wednesday, tying the game 2-2 with a two-run homer off Tanner Bibee in the second inning before giving Houston the lead with a solo blast off Nick Sandlin in the sixth, setting a new career high with 15 long balls on the year. The 28-year-old outfielder would also add a stolen base for good measure, improving to 12-for-13 on attempts this season. McCormick's been one of the hottest hitters in baseball for over a month now -- he's batting .337 (34-for-101) with eight homers and a 1.086 OPS in his last 30 games. Overall, he's slashing .286/.375/.547 with 47 RBI and 37 runs scored across 270 plate appearances in a breakout campaign.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
He'll give way in the outfield to Jake Meyers, who will be flanked in left and right field by Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, respectively. McCormick has been one of the hottest hitters in the Houston lineup and started in each of the Astros' last 19 games, slashing .338/.436/.646 with five home runs, three stolen bases, 17 RBI and 15 runs during that stretch.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and six total RBI in Monday's 10-9 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick came up to the plate three times with runners in scoring position and delivered in each instance, knocking a two-run double in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a game-tying three-run homer in the seventh. Altogether, the outfielder tallied a career-best six RBI to lead the Astros to victory. McCormick has been on fire in July, slashing .362/.457/.759 with six homers, 20 RBI, 12 runs and three steals through 17 games.

McCormick went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick saw an eight-game hitting streak dating back to July 9 snapped, but he was still able to get on base. He's 13-for-29 with six walks and three steals over his last nine contests. The outfielder has often had to battle for playing time, but he's been an everyday player of late. He's slashing .282/.372/.520 with 12 home runs, 11 steals, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 59 contests. McCormick may end up taking a cut in playing time once Yordan Alvarez (oblique) returns, which is expected to happen Monday.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick has been on fire since the All-Star break, going 10-for-18 (.556) with four home runs in his last five games. The 28-year-old outfielder now has 12 home runs on the year while slashing .285/.370/.534 with 35 RBI, 30 runs scored and nine stolen bases. McCormick has provided legitimate fantasy value while settling in as Houston's primary center fielder.

McCormick went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick belted a solo shot in the seventh inning followed by a two-run homer in the eighth. He knocked three homers with six runs scored and five RBI in two games against the Angels this weekend. The 28-year-old is up to 11 home runs and 32 RBI with a .280/.365/.522 slash line through 54 games.

McCormick went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a pair of walks and four total runs scored in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick was an on-base machine Saturday in arguably his best game of the season. He's hitting .355 (11-for-31) with four walks over nine games in July, and it appears his strong month or so of hitting has earned him a starting role in center field over Jake Meyers. McCormick is at a .269/.354/.484 slash line with nine homers, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 207 plate appearances.

McCormick is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will get a breather after he went 5-for-12 with a homer, a triple, a double, six RBI and a run scored while starting the last three games. Jake Meyers will replace him in center field and bat ninth versus Colorado.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBI on Sunday against Texas.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick remains in a near-even timeshare with Jake Meyers in center field, though he also draws occasional starts in left field. He's in the midst of a solid three-game stretch, during which he's gone 5-for-13 with a stolen base, three RBI and two runs scored. He's maintained a .797 OPS with seven homers and eight stolen bases this season, but to this point, he hasn't been able to claim a full-time role -- dinging his fantasy value.

McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup Saturday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After going 3-for-9 with two runs scored and a steal across his last two games, McCormick will catch a breather Saturday. While McCormick rests, Jake Meyers will take over in center field and bat eighth.
