McCormick went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-5 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick didn't start Saturday against right-hander Jack Flaherty. McCormick was still able to make an impact in the lopsided loss with a homer in the seventh inning after replacing Yordan Alvarez in left field. The long ball was McCormick's first of the season, though he's managed three extra-base hits over his last five contests. The 29-year-old is slashing .209/.273/.291 with 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases over 121 plate appearances, and he's unlikely to make a consistent impact while occupying a short-side platoon role.

McCormick is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
It marks the fifth time in a row that McCormick has been out of the lineup versus a right-hander. He did draw a start each of the last three game against lefties, but it would appear at the moment that McCormick's role is as a short-side platoon bat. Yordan Alvarez and Trey Cabbage are handling the corner outfield spots and Jon Singleton will be the designated hitter for the Astros on Wednesday.

McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will take a seat on the bench after making three straight starts in right field. Before that, the outfielder was absent from the lineup in two consecutive games. With McCormick out of the lineup Tuesday, Mauricio Dubon, Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage will round out the outfield for the Astros.

McCormick went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick returned to the starting lineup after Trey Cabbage got the nod over him in each of Houston's last two games. It remains to be seen how the Astros allocate playing time moving forward between the trio of Mauricio Dubon, McCormick and Cabbage, as that group will primarily cover two outfield positions while Kyle Tucker (shin) is sidelined.

McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup for Thursday's game against Seattle, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick had sat out three games in a row before returning to Houston's lineup Wednesday, but an 0-for-4 performance will put him back on the bench for Thursday's series finale. Yordan Alvarez, Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubon will start across the outfield while McCormick sits.

McCormick is not in the Astros' lineup versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the third consecutive absence for McCormick after also sitting out Sunday's and Monday's contests. He made a return from an injured-list stint due to right hamstring discomfort last Tuesday and has recorded a hit across the nine plate appearances he's logged in the three games he's played in that span. In his place, Yordan Alvarez will start in left field while Jon Singleton slots in as the designated hitter and Jose Abreu draws the start at first base.
