Astros Place Chas McCormick On 10-Day Injured List
8 months agoThe Houston Astros placed outfielder Chas McCormick (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 28) on Wednesday with right-hamstring discomfort and recalled infielder Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. It's not considered a very serious injury for McCormick, so he'll have a good shot to return from the IL when he's first eligible on May 8. The 29-year-old outfielder is off to a rather slow start, much like the Astros team as a whole, as he's hitting .236/.325/.278 with no home runs, eight RBI and two stolen bases in his first 21 games after setting career-highs in homers (22), RBI (70) and stolen bases (19) in 2023. Mauricio Dubon will see additional playing time in the outfield with McCormick out, while prospect Joey Loperfido has also been added to the mix on a Houston team desperately looking for a spark.
