McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick went 0-for-1 with one walk and one strikeout before being pinch hit by Jon Singleton in the sixth inning of Friday's 7-2 loss to New York. With McCormick starting Saturday's game in the dugout, Singleton will start at first base while Mauricio Dubon shifts to right field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
After starting each of the last three games, McCormick will be the odd man out of the Astros outfield on Wednesday with Houston clearing a spot in left field for Yordan Alvarez, who typically serves as the team's designated hitter. McCormick could be forced to the bench on a more frequent basis once Kyle Tucker (shin) returns from the injured list, though it's not yet clear when Tucker might rejoin the big club as his rehab program has proceeded more slowly than anticipated.

McCormick went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Sunday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick's line isn't notable, but Sunday marked his third start in Houston's last four games against a right-handed pitcher. He had previously been losing playing time against righties to Trey Cabbage and Mauricio Dubon, but the absence of Kyle Tucker (shin) and lack of production from Jake Meyers have opened up playing time for McCormick. He's shown modest improvement in his last five starts, going 4-for-14 with a pair of homers, three RBI and five runs scored.

McCormick went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick got a rare start versus a right-hander -- his second in the last three games -- and he made it count by taking Corbin Burnes deep in the fifth inning. All three of McCormick's homers this year have come within his last five games, and he's added six RBI and six runs scored in that span. Overall, he's posted a mediocre .225/.286/.358 slash line with 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases across 133 plate appearances.

McCormick went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was in the lineup because Houston was facing lefty Garrett Crochet, though McCormick remains in the small side of a platoon with Trey Cabbage in right field. As a result, McCormick has started only six of the team's last 10 games, during which he's hit .250 with one home run, five RBI and five runs scored.

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 is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick will be on the bench for a third straight game Friday. He's played in nine games since returning from the injured list May 21, going 2-for-23 with seven strikeouts over that span. Yordan Alvarez will start in left field Friday, while Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter against Angels right hander Griffin Canning.
