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.

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.

McCormick went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
He took Dominic Leone deep in the third inning as both offenses chased the opposition's starter early. McCormick is having a strong June, slashing .319/.396/.553 over 13 games with three of his seven homers on the season, and he's now gotten a start in six of the last nine contests.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick was in the lineup for the third time in the last four games, though each has come against a lefty. Meanwhile, he's been forced to the bench in each of Houston's last three games against righties, suggesting he's fallen into a short-side platoon role. Even so, McCormick has already swiped a career-high six bases and has maintained a career-best .213 ISO across 138 plate appearances on the season.

McCormick went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick hit the Astros' fourth solo home run of the evening, connecting on a 392-foot blast in the eighth inning. He now has four home runs in 11 games dating back to May 28 but is still slashing just .228/.313/.447 with six homers, 17 RBI, 15 runs and 11:35 BB:K over 129 plate appearances. McCormick could see some additional at-bats with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) on the shelf but is still not seeing consistent opportunities to warrant much fantasy consideration.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick is on the bench for a second straight game after he went 2-for-12 with five strikeouts while starting each of the preceding three contests. Even with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) recently moving to the injured list, McCormick looks as though he could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup more often than not. Kyle Tucker is locked in as the Astros' everyday right fielder, and Jake Meyers, Corey Julks and Mauricio Dubon have seemingly moved ahead of McCormick in the pecking order for playing time at designated hitter and/or the other two outfield spots.

McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick didn't start against Toronto on Monday either, but he eventually came in for two plate appearances and scored a run. While he sits Tuesday, Jake Meyers will start in center field and bat eighth.
