McCormick agreed to a one-year, $2.85 million deal with the Astros on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McCormick is coming off a breakout year where he slashed .273/.353/.489 with 22 home runs and 19 steals in 115 games. With good health, he should blow past the 457 plate appearances he saw last year, as he is also a strong defender, capable of playing all three spots in the outfield.
Chas McCormick Takes seat for Game 6
McCormick is out of the lineup for Game 6 of the ALCS against the Rangers on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McCormick is 3-for-15 with a two-run homer and a walk so far in the series, and he'll hit the bench Sunday as Houston attempts to close things out. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field and batting seventh.
