McCormick went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 3-2 victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick and Martin Maldonado went back-to-back off of Beau Brieske in the second inning, providing all of Houston's offense in the low-scoring win. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 27. The 27-year-old is now slashing .263/.313/.434 with eight extra-base hits through 83 plate appearances.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick's brief run as the Astros' leadoff hitter ended Monday, as Jose Altuve (hamstring) made his return from the 10-day injured list and immediately took back control of the table-setting role. Though he moved down to seventh in the order in Monday's 3-0 win and is now out of the lineup Tuesday, McCormick still appears fairly secure as the Astros' top center fielder. Jose Siri will fill in for him Tuesday, however.

McCormick is starting in center field and batting seventh in Monday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old led off in seven of the last eight games and hit .265 with a homer, a triple, three doubles, five runs and three RBI over that span. While he'll be one of the favorite options to serve as the leadoff man if Jose Altuve needs a day off, McCormick will likely hit in the bottom third of the Astros' lineup after Altuve was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Monday.

McCormick went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick got things going for Houston with a long ball leading off the game, and he scored another run following a fifth-inning single. The homer was his first of the campaign after he swatted 14 round trippers across 284 at-bats during his rookie campaign last year. He's slashing .280/.308/.400 with three RBI across 52 plate appearances this season.

McCormick went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a double on Sunday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick hit atop the order for the first time this season in the absence of Jose Altuve (hamstring). He made an immediate impression, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a double. One frame later, McCormick delivered an RBI single. He's recently alternated starts with Jose Siri in center field and has delivered four hits across his last 18 at-bats, though Sunday's counting stats were his first in that span.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take a seat after four consecutive starts, opening up a spot in the outfield for Jose Siri. McCormick was hitless over his final two games to close out the Astros' weekend series in Seattle, but his .746 OPS on the season and solid performance in 2021 might be enough to keep him atop the depth chart in center field for now. However, Siri's hot start to 2022 (.956 OPS in 20 plate appearances) has kept him relevant in the Houston outfield.
