Chas McCormick to Face Live Pitching Next Week
Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports that outfielder Chas McCormick (oblique) will likely face live pitching next week in Florida. The 30-year-old has been shelved since May 31 with a left-oblique strain, but has recently progressed to swinging the bat and will soon take the next step in his recovery. He's sporting an unappealing .256/.347/.302 slash line through 36 appearances with just two extra-base hits (zero home runs). It's worth noting he's been far superior against southpaws (.375) than righties (.229) thus far. However, it's too small a sample size to glean any real insight (3-for-8). McCormick projects to require a short minor-league rehab stint before returning to Houston.
