McCormick is out of the lineup for Game 3 of the World Series in Atlanta on Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old will be the odd man out of the starting nine since the Astros don't have the benefit of a designated hitter in a National League park. Kyle Tucker will shift to center field while Yordan Alvarez and Michael Brantley start in the corner outfield spots. Barring any injuries, this figures to be Houston's outfield configuration for all three games in Atlanta.
