McCormick was scratched from the Astros' lineup Thursday against the Orioles, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Presumably, McCormick is dealing with some sort of injury, but it's not clear at this point what it is. Mauricio Dubon has been inserted into Houston's lineup in left field.

McCormick is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jake Meyers will start in center field and Yainer Diaz will serve as the Astros' designated hitter. Yordan Alvarez is in left field and Martin Maldonado is catching. This looks to be a routine day of rest for McCormick, who has reached base in 12 straight games and boasts an .891 OPS on the year.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's victory over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick powered the Astros' offense again Wednesday, tying the game 2-2 with a two-run homer off Tanner Bibee in the second inning before giving Houston the lead with a solo blast off Nick Sandlin in the sixth, setting a new career high with 15 long balls on the year. The 28-year-old outfielder would also add a stolen base for good measure, improving to 12-for-13 on attempts this season. McCormick's been one of the hottest hitters in baseball for over a month now -- he's batting .337 (34-for-101) with eight homers and a 1.086 OPS in his last 30 games. Overall, he's slashing .286/.375/.547 with 47 RBI and 37 runs scored across 270 plate appearances in a breakout campaign.

McCormick went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and six total RBI in Monday's 10-9 win over the Rangers.

McCormick came up to the plate three times with runners in scoring position and delivered in each instance, knocking a two-run double in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a game-tying three-run homer in the seventh. Altogether, the outfielder tallied a career-best six RBI to lead the Astros to victory. McCormick has been on fire in July, slashing .362/.457/.759 with six homers, 20 RBI, 12 runs and three steals through 17 games.

McCormick went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick saw an eight-game hitting streak dating back to July 9 snapped, but he was still able to get on base. He's 13-for-29 with six walks and three steals over his last nine contests. The outfielder has often had to battle for playing time, but he's been an everyday player of late. He's slashing .282/.372/.520 with 12 home runs, 11 steals, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 59 contests. McCormick may end up taking a cut in playing time once Yordan Alvarez (oblique) returns, which is expected to happen Monday.

McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick has been on fire since the All-Star break, going 10-for-18 (.556) with four home runs in his last five games. The 28-year-old outfielder now has 12 home runs on the year while slashing .285/.370/.534 with 35 RBI, 30 runs scored and nine stolen bases. McCormick has provided legitimate fantasy value while settling in as Houston's primary center fielder.

McCormick went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick belted a solo shot in the seventh inning followed by a two-run homer in the eighth. He knocked three homers with six runs scored and five RBI in two games against the Angels this weekend. The 28-year-old is up to 11 home runs and 32 RBI with a .280/.365/.522 slash line through 54 games.

McCormick went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a pair of walks and four total runs scored in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McCormick was an on-base machine Saturday in arguably his best game of the season. He's hitting .355 (11-for-31) with four walks over nine games in July, and it appears his strong month or so of hitting has earned him a starting role in center field over Jake Meyers. McCormick is at a .269/.354/.484 slash line with nine homers, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 207 plate appearances.
