Chas McCormick moving to Houston bench Monday
Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick is not in the lineup versus right-hander Alek Manoah and the Toronto Blue Jays in Monday's series opener.
What It Means:
The Astros appear to be giving McCormick a standard breather. Corey Julks will cover left field and hit seventh.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total is 4.96 and the game total is the highest of the day at 10.0. Manoah has a 5.86 SIERA through 12 starts while allowing 1.56 home runs per nine innings. His 17.6% strikeout rate, 15.0% walk rate, 5.99 xFIP, 8.9% barrel rate, 8.5% swinging-strike rate, and 24.5% called plus swinging-strike rate (CSW%) are all the worst of his career.
