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.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros still have an opening in the everyday lineup while Michael Brantley (shoulder) remains on the injured list, but McCormick doesn't look as though he'll be a regular in the starting nine. He'll take a seat for the second game in a row while the Astros continue to take a committee approach to fill Brantley's spot. Utility man Aledmys Diaz will crack the lineup Tuesday, picking up a start at first base while Yuli Gurriel serves as Houston's designated hitter.

McCormick isn't starting Monday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick started in the last three games and went 5-for-10 with two homers, three runs, three RBI, two walks and two strikeouts across that span. However, Mauricio Dubon will take over in left field and bat eighth Monday.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick drew his second consecutive start in left field, and he took advantage by slugging his eighth home run of the season. With Michael Brantley (shoulder) sidelined, McCormick has been battling with Aledmys Diaz for a regular spot in the lineup. McCormick has made the most of his recent opportunity, racking up four hits -- two of which were long balls -- across his last seven at-bats.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run Friday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick drew his second start in left field since being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday. He delivered a two-run home run in the third inning, his seventh long ball of the campaign. McCormick has alternated his spot in the lineup with Aledmys Diaz, and a timeshare may continue until Michael Brantley (shoulder) is able to return from the injured list.

The Astros recalled McCormick from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. He'll start in left field and bat seventh in Houston's series opener with the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick and Jose Siri were both shipped out to Sugar Land over the weekend after Houston elected to proceed with the newly activated Jake Meyers as its primary option in center field moving forward. However, with Houston now in need of another outfielder with Michael Brantley (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, McCormick will be summoned from the minors just two days after his demotion. Though Brantley's absence creates an opening in Houston's everyday lineup, manager Dusty Baker is likely to turn to a combination of Mauricio Dubon, J.J. Matijevic, Aledmys Diaz and McCormick to fill the void rather than settling on one player as Brantley's replacement.
