The Astros placed Trammell on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a cervical muscle strain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell suffered the injury in Wednesday's game versus the Tigers when he collided with the outfield wall. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 31, but it's unclear whether he will be ready to go on that date or need more time.

Astros manager Joe Espada said after Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Tigers that Trammell is dealing with neck and back stiffness and will be evaluated for a concussion, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell was carted off the field in the bottom of the first inning, after a face-first collision outfield wall while he pursued a deep fly ball off the bat of Dillon Dingler that fell in for a triple. Though Trammell will travel with the team to Baltimore for its four-game series that begins Thursday, he'll be put through further diagnostic testing before the Astros can definitively rule out a concussion. Jacob Melton replaced Trammell in center field Wednesday and is likely to start at the position in Thursday's series opener.

Trammell required assistance off the field with a cart in the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Tigers after colliding with the outfield wall, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell's availability heading into Wednesday had been in some question after he landed hard on a catch in the outfield during the ninth inning of Tuesday's 1-0 loss, but he received clearance to enter the lineup for the series finale. However, Trammell departed from the contest without logging a plate appearance, as he made hard contact with the wall while pursuing a Dillon Dingler deep fly to center field that fell in for a triple. The Astros should have an update on the nature and severity of Trammell's injury later Wednesday.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell's time as a strong-side platoon player for Houston looks to be over, as the left-handed-hitting outfielder finds himself on the bench for the third time in the Astros' last five matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Jack Flaherty). With just one hit in 15 at-bats and a 2:7 BB:K over his last six games, Trammell hasn't helped his case for earning regular starts in center field. Jacob Melton appears to have usurped Trammell as the Astros' preferred option in center against right-handed pitching.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, Trammell will retreat to the bench. He had started each of the previous three games while going 2-for-11 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Chas McCormick will get the start in Trammell's stead as the duo splits time in center field.

Trammell went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell has become Houston's primary center fielder, starting six of the last seven games at the position. He's struggled at the plate in that span, collecting only one hit across 11 at-bats entering Friday's contest. However, Trammell delivered the key blow in the win against the Yankees, smacking a two-run home run in the 10th inning. It was his third long ball of the season and second since the All-Star break.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Trammell picked up starts in each of the last three contests, but he'll retreat to the bench while the Nationals send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the bump for the series finale. Until Houston gets one or both of Jake Meyers (calf) and Yordan Alvarez (hand) back from the injured list, Trammell should have a good chance at retaining a regular spot in the outfield when the Astros face right-handed pitching.

Trammell went 1-for-3 with two walks Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros have used Isaac Paredes (hamstring) and Jeremy Pena (ribs) as their primary leadoff hitters this year, but they have been forced to explore other options with both sidelined. Cam Smith had hit from the top spot in the prior three games, but he was out of the lineup Wednesday to give Trammell an opportunity. Trammell is getting near-everyday playing time in the absence of Jake Meyers (calf) and has gone 10-for-35 with two home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his last 12 games.

Trammell went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-3 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Trammell got off to a slow start with Houston this season, going 5-for-35 (.143) with 14 strikeouts before Sunday's outburst. The outfielder notched his second long ball of the campaign, tagging Bryan Woo for a solo shot in the sixth inning. While Trammell has never hit above .200 in an MLB season, his three-hit performance could be enough to spark a hot streak.
