Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (hand) will land on the 10-day injured list after being diagnosed with a fractured right hand, according to manager Joe Espada. McCormick suffered the hand injured when he crashed into the outfield wall during Tuesday's game against the division-rival Oakland Athletics. With only several weeks left in the 2024 regular season, the 29-year-old will miss the rest of September and can only hope he can recover in time if the Astros make a deep run in the playoffs. Ben Gamel and Jason Heyward stand to benefit the most, especially as the Astros ease Kyle Tucker back in at DH following a lengthy IL stint. McCormick is having his worst big-league season, slashing only .211/.271/.306 with five homers, 27 RBI and eight steals in a career-low 94 games as a bench outfielder for Houston in 2024.
The Houston Astros placed outfielder Jake Meyers on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder Chas McCormick from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Meyers will most likely be away from the team for the next three days while he attends to family matters, so fantasy managers probably won't have him available for the entire three-game series in Cincinnati against the Reds this week. McCormick, 29, might get a little run in center field at Great American Ball Park this week with Meyers out, but once Meyers returns, he'll return to being a bench bat, at best. The former 21st-round pick in 2017 out of Millersville University of Pennsylvania has hit just .192/.256/.292 with a .548 OPS, five home runs, 24 RBI and eight steals in 219 at-bats in 2024. With Kyle Tucker (shin) on the verge of a return, too, there's just no opening for consistent playing time for the struggling McCormick.
Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday after a prolonged stretch of ineffectiveness at the plate, going 4-for-42 (.095) since July 31. For the season, McCormick was slashing .192/.256/.292 with a .245 wOBA and 57 wRC+. The 29-year-old will look to get back on track at Triple-A Sugar Land while veteran journeyman Ben Gamel will take over in right field, along with utilityman Mauricio Dubon and the recently acquired Jason Heyward. Gamel has been surprisingly productive since getting regular at-bats beginning on August 22, going 10-for-23 (.435) with a pair of doubles, two RBI, and four runs scored in seven games, collecting at least one hit in all six of those games in which started. If McCormick can find his groove again, perhaps he could be a factor for the Astros in the postseason, but for fantasy, his season is over.
Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick picked up two hits in Wednesday afternoon's win over the division-rival Oakland Athletics, walloping his fourth home run of the season. McCormick connected for a solo homer off Athletics left-hander JP Sears to center field, extending the Astros' lead to 3-1 in the fifth inning. 2024 has been a different year than the 2023 breakout we saw from the 29-year-old outfielder, who has fallen off the radar in mixed fantasy leagues by slashing a weak .211/.277/.325 with four round-trippers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, and seven stolen bases over 166 at-bats.
Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a stolen base, and three total runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He took Corbin Burnes deep in the fifth inning to give the Astros a 4-1 lead. The 29-year-old later smashed another solo shot off Bryan Baker in the bottom of the eighth inning for the second long ball of the game. The 29-year-old had his best game of the season and is now slashing .225/.286/.358 over 133 plate appearances in 2024. McCormick has collected a hit in three of his last five games and can be used as a streamer while swinging a hot bat.
