McCormick was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right wrist discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick likely hurt his wrist while crashing into the outfield wall, though the severity of his injury remains unknown. Should he need to miss any games, Jake Meyers would presumably receive an uptick in playing time.

McCormick will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick wasn't expected to be in store for a major role after being called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, but he'll draw a sixth consecutive start Sunday after going 6-for-18 with a double, a walk, three RBI and three runs. However, with Jake Meyers back from the paternity list and with Kyle Tucker likely to resume playing the outfield soon after being limited to designated-hitter duties in his first two starts since being activated from the injured list Friday, McCormick's playing time should soon fall by the wayside.

The Astros recalled McCormick from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday. He'll start in center field and bat ninth in the Astros' series opener in Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Less than a week after being optioned to Sugar Land, McCormick will be eligible to rejoin the Astros since Houston is placing Jake Meyers (personal) on the paternity list in a corresponding move. McCormick is expected to head back to Sugar Land once Meyers is activated, likely ahead of the Astros' weekend series with the Diamondbacks in Houston.

Manager Joe Espada said that McCormick will be recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Monday's game in Cincinnati, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will likely stick around with the Astros for at least the entirety of the three-game series versus the Reds while fellow outfielder Jake Meyers is away from the team on paternity leave. Before he was demoted to Triple-A last week, McCormick had struggled to a .192/.256/.292 slash line with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate over 243 plate appearances with Houston.

The Astros optioned McCormick to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he hit a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies, McCormick will head back to the minors as he looks to break out of an extended funk at the plate. The 29-year-old entered Wednesday's contest with a .211 OPS in 44 plate appearances during the month of August and was beginning to see his playing time diminish. Now that he's been dispatched to Triple-A, more playing time in the outfield will likely be given to Mauricio Dubon, Ben Gamel and Jason Heyward.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will hit the bench for the third time in the Astros' last four matchups with right-handed pitching. Slashing just .150/.224/.200 since the All-Star break, McCormick looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role with Houston until his bat begins to come around.

EDGE Analysis

McCormick is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

McCormick is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will sit for the second straight game Saturday with Pedro Leon set to make his major-league debut in right field against Rays right-hander Zack Littell. Since the All-Star break, McCormick has gone 6-for-20 with one home run and two RBI.

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.
