Wade had gone just 2-for-14 in nine games coming into the contest. Overall, he's slashing .212/.316/.364 with 19 RBI 16 runs scored over 136 plate appearances this season.

Homers off bench Sunday Wade went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

AUGUST 5 • Associated Press

Looks like odd man out of lineup Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Wade will take a seat for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Shane Bieber) and appears headed for a role reduction after the Astros bolstered their outfield by acquiring Daulton Varsho from the Blue Jays on Monday. Varsho will enter the lineup right away Monday, covering center field while Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith flank him in the corner spots. Since being reinstated from the injured list July 4, Wade is batting just .167 with one home run, 10 RBI and eight runs in 20 games.

Moving to bench Sunday Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Wade had started in left field in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored between those contests. He'll exit the lineup Sunday while Yordan Alvarez receives a turn in left field, but Wade still looks to have a hold on at least a semi-regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Riding pine against lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Swats grand slam Saturday Wade went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-3 victory versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Wade struck out twice and was subbed out on defense in the seventh inning, but he made a big impact with one swing when he clubbed a grand slam to right field in the third inning. That was the veteran outfielder's second homer in nine games in the majors this season. Since returning from an IL stint caused by a hamstring injury July 4, Wade has started all five of Houston's games against a right-handed pitcher, so he appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in left field.
