McCormick (finger) went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two strikeouts in Friday's 4-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick has battled a sore right pinkie finger over the last week-plus, having played in just two of the Astros' last seven games. Even if he's fully past the issue, he's could be in line for just a part-time role in center field. The 27-year-old is slashing .239/.325/.418 with 12 home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored and two stolen bases through 94 contests overall.

Astros manager Dusty Baker confirmed that McCormick was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to a sore right pinkie finger, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick previously dislocated the finger in question one week ago, missing four straight games before re-entering the lineup Tuesday. In the Astros' 4-2 win, McCormick went 1-for-4 while playing all nine innings in the outfield, but he apparently came out of the contest feeling less than 100 percent. The Astros are hopeful that the day out of the lineup coupled with Thursday's team off day will allow McCormick to re-enter the lineup in Friday's series opener with the Angels.

McCormick was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Rangers for an undisclosed reason, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick missed four games due to a dislocated right pinkie finger over the weekend, but he returned to the lineup Tuesday and was slated to start in left field Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether his removal from the lineup is related to his finger issue, but Trey Mancini will man left field while David Hensley enters the lineup as the designated hitter.

McCormick (finger) will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick steps back into the lineup following a four-game absence due to a dislocated right pinkie finger. With Houston optioning Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land earlier Tuesday, McCormick is poised to serve as the Astros' primary option in center field, though general manager James Click acknowledged that Mauricio Dubon may also get some opportunities at the position.

Astros general manager James Click said he's hopeful McCormick (finger) will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Houston made four roster moves prior to the series opener in Arlington, but the decision to demote Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land while not placing McCormick on the injured list seemingly supports Click's notion that McCormick is primed for a return. Click added that McCormick, who has missed four straight games with a dislocated pinkie finger, is expected to share duties in center field with Mauricio Dubon moving forward now that Meyers is out of the mix. McCormick will also be a candidate to pick up reps in left field when the Astros want to give Yordan Alvarez (hand) and Trey Mancini time out of the field.

McCormick (finger) remains on the bench Friday against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick dislocated his right pinky finger Wednesday against the Twins and was expected to miss at least a couple days, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench here. Jake Meyers will start in center field.

McCormick sustained a dislocated right pinky finger during Wednesday's win over the Twins and is expected to be unavailable for at least a couple days, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick went 0-for-2 with a walk and suffered the injury while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt. The 27-year-old has been filling a regular role in the outfield of late, but the dislocated finger will now cause him to miss some time. Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubon should see more playing time until McCormick can retake the field.
