Sits again Wednesday McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact McCormick is on the bench for the second game in a row, and he may have a tough time recapturing a near-everyday role in the corner outfield after the Astros acquired Trey Mancini from the Orioles on Monday. At this point, McCormick's best bet for playing time may be in center field, where Jake Meyers' status as the everyday option at the position is on thin ice due to his ongoing slump. Rather than McCormick or Meyers, the Astros will turn to Mauricio Dubon in center field for Wednesday's series finale.

Slugs 10th homer McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Athletics.

Impact McCormick took Lou Trivino yard in the ninth inning to tally his 10th homer of the season. He continues to get regular run in the absence of Michael Brantley (shoulder), and McCormick has hit particularly well in his last eight games by maintaining a .346 average with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored. If McCormick continues to perform, he could push Jake Meyers for playing time in center field once Brantley is ready to return.

Sitting in second straight game McCormick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact The Astros still have an opening in the everyday lineup while Michael Brantley (shoulder) remains on the injured list, but McCormick doesn't look as though he'll be a regular in the starting nine.

Utility man Aledmys Diaz will crack the lineup Tuesday, picking up a start at first base while Yuli Gurriel serves as Houston's designated hitter.

Impact McCormick and Jose Siri were both shipped out to Sugar Land over the weekend after Houston elected to proceed with the newly activated Jake Meyers as its primary option in center field moving forward. However, with Houston now in need of another outfielder with Michael Brantley (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, McCormick will be summoned from the minors just two days after his demotion. Though Brantley's absence creates an opening in Houston's everyday lineup, manager Dusty Baker is likely to turn to a combination of Mauricio Dubon, J.J. Matijevic, Aledmys Diaz and McCormick to fill the void rather than settling on one player as Brantley's replacement.
