McCormick is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick started five of the previous seven games but will sit Friday after going 5-for-15 with a solo homer and four total runs during that stretch. Mauricio Dubon will man right field and bat ninth in the series opener versus Tampa Bay.

McCormick will start in right field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick seems to have re-emerged as the Astros' preferred option in right field in the absence of Kyle Tucker (shin); he'll draw his fifth start at the position in seven games. Trey Cabbage and Joey Loperfido have picked up the other two starts, and the latter has since been traded to the Blue Jays and replaced on the roster by another outfielder in Pedro Leon. While the Astros could eventually look to Leon, Cabbage or Mauricio Dubon to pick up more reps in the corner outfield, McCormick has gone 5-for-14 with a solo home run over his last four starts to rebuild a little job security for the time being.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick went yard and also tallied his first multi-hit game since June 22. He has been stuck primarily in a small-side platoon role recently, with both Joey Loperfido and Trey Cabbage playing ahead of him against righties in the corner outfield spots.

McCormick went 1-for-3 with one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick hasn't been running as much this season -- his pair of steals Tuesday gave him seven thefts on the year. He's logged four of them over the last 13 games, though he's batting just .212 (7-for-33) in that span. The outfielder is at a .207/.267/.313 slash line with three home runs, 19 RBI, 19 runs scored, five doubles and one triple across 52 contests this season. He's started five of the last eight games between left field and right field, including three starts versus right-handed pitchers, though McCormick will still have to compete with Joey Loperfido for playing time until Kyle Tucker (lower leg) is ready to return.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick went 0-for-1 with one walk and one strikeout before being pinch hit by Jon Singleton in the sixth inning of Friday's 7-2 loss to New York. With McCormick starting Saturday's game in the dugout, Singleton will start at first base while Mauricio Dubon shifts to right field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
After starting each of the last three games, McCormick will be the odd man out of the Astros outfield on Wednesday with Houston clearing a spot in left field for Yordan Alvarez, who typically serves as the team's designated hitter. McCormick could be forced to the bench on a more frequent basis once Kyle Tucker (shin) returns from the injured list, though it's not yet clear when Tucker might rejoin the big club as his rehab program has proceeded more slowly than anticipated.
