CHAS MCCORMICK NEWS

Platoon role in center McCormick went 4-for-12 with two doubles an RBI across 12 plate appearances during the team's opening series against the Angels.

Impact McCormick has started the season on the strong side of a platoon in center field, pairing with Jose Siri. He's slotted into either the eighth or ninth spot in the Houston lineup and is likely to remain the bottom third of the order moving forward. However, if McCormick continues to get on base, he could be in a strong position to rack up runs scored with the likes of Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley and Alex Bregman immediately following him in the order.

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

Impact 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.

Takes seat vs. lefty McCormick is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the Astros' World Series matchup with Atlanta, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Jake Meyers (shoulder) likely to miss the entirety of the World Series, McCormick drew the start in center field Tuesday in the Astros' 6-2 loss in Game 1, going 0-for-3 with an RBI. Though McCormick looks like he'll serve as the Astros' primary option at the position versus right-handed pitching, he'll take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Max Fried on the hill for Atlanta. Jose Siri will pick up the start in center field in McCormick's stead.
