Chas McCormick - Activated off injured list McCormick (back) was activated off the10-day injured list by the Astros on Monday.

Impact McCormick ended up missing close to a month while dealing with his back strain. The outfielder should handle the majority of duties in center field now that he's back with the club, and he was hitting at the top of the lineup prior to his injury. Rylan Bannon was sent down to Triple-A Sugar Land in the corresponding transaction.

Impact The veteran shortstop also cleared the bases Saturday with a clutch double, so he was a thorn in the side of Astros pitching over the last two games of the series. Crawford's current .378 on-base percentage is by far the highest of his career, a number largely built on his highest walk rate (18.0 percent) since his rookie 2017 season in Philadelphia.
