The Astros are placing McCormick on the 10-day IL due to a back issue before Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters that McCormick injured his back Sunday and the placement on the injured list is not related to the blurred vision that kept him out for the last few days. While he is out, Jake Meyers will continue to see duties in center field. A corresponding move has not been announced just yet.

McCormick left Friday's game against the Rangers with "vision issues," Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The team is being a little vague with this designation, and they did not provide a timeline for his return, but he is having tests done Friday night. There was speculation during the game that McCormick may have been shaken up when making a defensive play at the wall earlier in the game. The lefty-hitting outfielder is off to a great start to the campaign, slashing .275/.383/.500 with two home runs and four steals in 48 plate appearances. Jake Meyers replaced him in center field.
