Chas McCormick went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the Astros' 11-5 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

McCormick's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster season, where he's batting just .203 through 92 games. His contributions in this game, however, helped fuel a significant win for Houston, suggesting he can still be a valuable asset when he connects. Fantasy managers should note that while McCormick's overall numbers don't jump off the page, his ability to drive in runs and score when on base could offer some situational value, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups.

Chas McCormick is in the starting lineup for the Houston Astros against the Cincinnati Reds Monday.

Fantasy Impact

McCormick will take the field after being recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, patrolling center field and batting ninth against the Reds for manager Joe Espada Monday.
