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.

Notches 11th steal McCormick went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact 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.

Homers again Wednesday McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over Colorado.

Impact 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.

Goes deep twice McCormick went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Impact 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.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance in loss 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.

Impact 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.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Breather Wednesday McCormick is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCormick will get a breather after he went 5-for-12 with a homer, a triple, a double, six RBI and a run scored while starting the last three games. Jake Meyers will replace him in center field and bat ninth versus Colorado.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in three McCormick went 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBI on Sunday against Texas.

Impact McCormick remains in a near-even timeshare with Jake Meyers in center field, though he also draws occasional starts in left field. He's in the midst of a solid three-game stretch, during which he's fone 5-for-13 with a stolen base, three RBI and two runs scored. He's maintained a .797 OPS with seven homes and eight stolen bases this season, but to this point, he hasn't been able to claim a full-time role -- dinging his fantasy value.
