Chas McCormick Still Out Friday
1 year agoHouston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (knee) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. McCormick suffered a bruised left knee while diving for a ball on Wednesday and was scratched from Thursday's lineup, so he'll miss his second straight game. The 28-year-old's injury isn't believed to be serious, so he has a good shot at returning on Saturday. Mauricio Dubon will play center field on Friday and hit sixth in the batting order against Angels left-hander Reid Detmers. McCormick is breaking out in his third big-league season in 2023, hitting .274/.366/.520 with an .885 OPS, 15 home runs, 13 doubles, two triples, 47 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 40 runs scored in 291 plate appearances over 73 games played.
