McCormick went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick's eighth-inning blast cut Kansas City's lead to 7-5 but the comeback attempt fell short. The 28-year-old outfielder is up to 21 home runs this season after knocking his first since Sep. 6. During his 12-game drought, he posted an ugly .479 OPS. McCormick is now slashing .281/.362/.501 with 39 extra-base hits, 68 RBI and 19 stolen bases through 429 plate appearances.

McCormick will be on the bench for Saturday's game against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick is having a career year, with personal bests in all three aspects of his .285/.367/.521 slash line as well as career highs in homers (20) and steals (14). Despite that success, he's seen his playing time slip since Michael Brantley returned from the injured list in late August, particularly against righties. He's now been on the bench against three of the last four right-handers the Astros have faced, with Mauricio Dubon again starting in center field while Brantley starts in left.

McCormick hit a solo home run as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick snapped an 11-game homer drought with the blast. In that span, he hit .292 (14-for-48) with three doubles and eight RBI. The homer got him to 20 long balls for the first time in his three major-league seasons. The outfielder has added 63 RBI, 54 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 16 doubles and two triples while slashing .289/.371/.527 through 384 plate appearances. While McCormick has played well, he's likely to be in a part-time role between left field and center field, splitting time with Yordan Alvarez, Michael Brantley and Mauricio Dubon.

EDGE Analysis
McCormick is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak during which he's gone 11-for-21 with three doubles, seven RBI and six runs, but he'll take a seat Wednesday for the second time in Houston's past four contests. Mauricio Dubon will receive another start in center field.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time on the bench in the last four games for McCormick, despite the fact he's hitting .300/.345/.475 with four homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs in his past 20 contests. Mauricio Dubon will start in center field and bat eight in Sunday's series finale versus New York.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old started the past 16 games after missing a couple contests with a bruised knee and will receive Tuesday off with Michael Brantley (shoulder) activated from the injured list and making his season debut in left field. McCormick played all three outfield spots during that stretch and should continue to be a lineup regular given his .982 OPS in 39 games since the All-Star break.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Monday's win over Boston.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick had himself a pretty busy afternoon despite the Astros only scoring one run and compiling seven hits total. McCormick's contributions this season don't get talked about enough with the attention always on Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, but he's put together a fantastic campaign and has found himself hitting right in the middle of the lineup as a near-everyday player. The 28-year-old is now slashing .280/.368/.517 with 15 homers, 47 RBI, 41 runs, 13 steals and a 31:86 BB:K in 300 plate appearances.
