Continues to produce McCormick went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a double Tuesday against the Pirates.
Impact McCormick has occupied the leadoff spot for the Astros in four consecutive games, and he's delivered five hits across 18 at-bats in that span.

He's still striking out at a 28.6 percent clip, though he's balanced that with a 10 percent walk rate across 42 plate appearances on the season.

Hitting leadoff again Tuesday McCormick is in the leadoff spot for the Astros for the fourth straight game Tuesday as they take on the Pirates.
Impact He's in left field for the second time over that stretch, with Jake Meyers covering center. Manager Dusty Baker is searching for a leadoff hitter while Jose Altuve (thumb) is on the shelf, and of late it's been McCormick instead of Jeremy Pena. McCormick is 4-for-13 with a home run since being elevated to the top of the order and has two homers and three steals overall this season. He's a viable deep-league play in fantasy leagues while perched atop a strong lineup.

Knocks in four McCormick went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Twins.
Impact McCormick put the Astros on the board with a two-run homer in the third and extended Houston's lead to 4-1 in the fifth with a two-run double. He has seven hits through six games, and four of those have gone for extra bases. Last year, McCormick had 88 hits across 119 games, with 14 home runs, 12 doubles and two triples, so he's showcasing his power early in 2023.

Impact McCormick has struck out five times in the past two games but has a .222/.364/.444 slash line for the season, and he'll bat leadoff for the first time this year. Jeremy Pena was atop the order for Houston's first eight games but will hit sixth Saturday.

Not in Tuesday's lineup McCormick is not in the Astros' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact McCormick had started the last three contests after Jake Meyers started the first two games of the season, but it will be Meyers back in center field for this one. The two only have two hits (both by McCormick) between them in 16 at-bats in the early going.

Steals two bags in loss McCormick went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two steals during Sunday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.
Impact The 27-year-old made his second consecutive start in center field and took advantage on the basepaths both times he reached. He's opened the season splitting playing time with Jake Meyers as both players have received two starts in center, but McCormick has been far more effective at the plate, going 2-for-5 with three walks, two RBI and three steals.

First start of season McCormick went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.
Impact McCormick was in the starting lineup for the first time this season, taking over in center field for Jake Meyers. McCormick had a strong performance, which began with an RBI single in the first inning and concluded with a stolen base in the sixth. The Astros are beginning the season with a rotation in center field, so McCormick could claim additional playing time if he continues to perform well.

To start in OF on Saturday, Sunday Astros manager Dusty Baker said McCormick will start in the outfield Saturday and Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact McCormick did not play in Thursday's season opener against the White Sox and he is out of the starting lineup again Friday, but he will work into the center field mix with Jake Meyers as the year rolls along. It's unlikely to be a fruitful situation for either player from a fantasy perspective.

Showing patience at plate McCormick has drawn seven walks across 28 plate appearances during Cactus League action.
Impact McCormick is in competition for the center field job with Jake Meyers this spring and has reached base at a .464 clip. While that's certainly a positive, he has only three extra-base hits across 21 at-bats. Both McCormick and Meyers could start the season in the lineup if Michael Brantley (shoulder) isn't ready for Opening Day.

Competing for CF job McCormick is competing for the Astros' starting center field job this spring, manager Dusty Baker told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle on Friday.
Impact McCormick enters camp as the odds-on favorite after starting 12 of 13 postseason games in center field in 2022 during the Astros' run to the World Series title. However, Baker noted that Jake Meyers would also be in the running after an injury-plagued 2022 and that "there's room for everybody to play." In addition to McCormick and Meyers, Mauricio Dubon and Pedro Leon (abdomen), when healthy, will also compete for playing time in center field with Houston.
