McCormick went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros are still settling on their best combination in the outfield and designated hitter after the acquisition of Trey Mancini. McCormick was in the lineup for the second consecutive day Friday, but each of those starts have come with Aledmys Diaz (finger) and Kyle Tucker (illness) unavailable. McCormick has been sporadically productive -- he's maintained a .237/.327/.424 line across 269 plate appearances for the season -- but he is likely to lose considerable playing time once Diaz and Tucker are back.

McCormick went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick had RBI singles in the third and fifth innings before adding a solo home run in the seventh. This was his first multi-hit game since July 25. The outfielder is up to 11 homers, 29 RBI, 29 runs scored, a stolen base and a .236/.325/.425 slash line through 265 plate appearances. With the addition of Trey Mancini to the Astros' roster, McCormick's already shaky case for playing time is in more danger. He could get a short-term boost if Kyle Tucker (illness) misses more than just Thursday's game, but it appears McCormick is soon to be mainly a bench option.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick is on the bench for the second game in a row, and he may have a tough time recapturing a near-everyday role in the corner outfield after the Astros acquired Trey Mancini from the Orioles on Monday. At this point, McCormick's best bet for playing time may be in center field, where Jake Meyers' status as the everyday option at the position is on thin ice due to his ongoing slump. Rather than McCormick or Meyers, the Astros will turn to Mauricio Dubon in center field for Wednesday's series finale.

McCormick isn't starting Saturday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick has hit .273 with a homer, a double, three RBI and two runs over his last seven games, but he'll retreat to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Aledmys Diaz is starting in left field and batting seventh.

McCormick is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick started the past six games and has an .891 OPS in the second half, but he'll take a seat for Friday's contests. Aledmys Diaz will man left field and bat seventh.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick took Lou Trivino yard in the ninth inning to tally his 10th homer of the season. He continues to get regular run in the absence of Michael Brantley (shoulder), and McCormick has hit particularly well in his last eight games by maintaining a .346 average with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored. If McCormick continues to perform, he could push Jake Meyers for playing time in center field once Brantley is ready to return.

McCormick is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will get a breather after he went 3-for-8 with a two-run homer while starting both games of Thursday's doubleheader with the Yankees. Aledmys Diaz will start in left field and bat seventh in Friday's series opener.

McCormick went 3-for-8 with a two-run home run across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick started both games -- one at DH and one in left field -- and should continue to benefit from the absence of Michael Brantley (shoulder). He tallied his 12th homer of the season in the second game and has now gone yard three times in his last 13 starts. He also has seven RBI and eight runs scored in that span.
