Chas McCormick - Optioned to Triple-AThe Astros optioned McCormick to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.ImpactAlthough he hit a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies, McCormick will head back to the minors in an effort to break him out of his slump at the plate. The 29-year-old entered Wednesday's contest with a .211 OPS in 44 plate appearances during the month of August and was beginning to see his playing time diminish. Now that he's been dispatched to Triple-A, more playing time in the outfield will likely be given to Mauricio Dubon and Ben Gamel.
