Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.
McCormick will take a seat after going 0-for-6 with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks in the first two games of the series. Yordan Alvarez will shift to left field and Yainer Diaz will start at designated hitter. Victor Caratini will catch for J.P. France and bat ninth.
numberFire's models project Diaz for 9.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total (4.24) is No. 15 in the majors today.
