McCormick is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the Astros' World Series matchup with Atlanta, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jake Meyers (shoulder) likely to miss the entirety of the World Series, McCormick drew the start in center field Tuesday in the Astros' 6-2 loss in Game 1, going 0-for-3 with an RBI. Though McCormick looks like he'll serve as the Astros' primary option at the position versus right-handed pitching, he'll take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Max Fried on the hill for Atlanta. Jose Siri will pick up the start in center field in McCormick's stead.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Michael Brantley (knee) returning from the injured list Wednesday, McCormick will likely have to vie with Jose Siri and Jake Myers for work in center field moving forward, while Brantley and Yordan Alvarez handle the left-field and designated-hitter spots. McCormick started in five of the past six games, going 6-for-20 with a walk, a run and an RBI.

McCormick went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in the Astros' 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Jose Siri and McCormick delivered back-to-back jacks in the eighth inning, with the latter's blast allowing Houston to reclaim the lead. McCormick finished the weekend with two starts in a row, but both he and Siri will see their playing time take a hit if Michael Brantley (knee) is able to make it back from the injured list later this week.

McCormick is not starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's out of the lineup for the second game in a row despite hitting a two-run homer while coming off the bench Thursday. Jose Siri, Jake Meyers and Kyle Tucker are set to start in the outfield from left to right Friday.

McCormick went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in a 12-1 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick entered as a defensive replacement for Kyle Tucker in the sixth inning and launched a two-run homer in his only at-bat in the eighth. The long ball was the 26-year-old's first since Aug. 6 and he now owns a .250/.309/.447 slash line in 94 games.

McCormick is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old had started three of the last four games with Michael Brantley (knee) out of the lineup. He drove in two runs Wednesday, his first game with an RBI since returning from the 10-day injured list on Sept. 3. Jake Meyers shifts over to left field as Jose Siri will bat seventh and start in center field.

McCormick started in left field and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick delivered a two-run single with the bases loaded in the fourth inning, snapping a 10-game RBI drought. He's started both games the team has been without Michael Brantley (knee), who was added to the injured list Wednesday. With Brantley unavailable, both McCormick and Jake Meyers could be lineup regulars for the near future. Both started Wednesday and combined to go 3-for-8 with a home run and four RBI. Jose Siri is also in the mix for at-bats.

McCormick started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick got the start in place of primary left fielder Michael Brantley, who is out until at least Friday due to a balky knee. Brantley's absence will lead to a playing time shuffle among McCormick, Jake Meyers and Jose Siri (who started in center field Tuesday). McCormick has just two hits over the 20 at-bats since returning from a hand injury.

EDGE Analysis
