The Astros will be without Chas McCormick for the next week, creating a depth crunch in their outfield ranks.The Astros announced Tuesday that Chas McCormick was placed on the 10-day injured list with lower back tightness, thinning Houston’s outfield depth.against the Rangers. Astros general manager Dana Brown said McCormick’s vision is fine and that his back injury, which he incurred while working out Sunday, is unrelated.
McCormick’s IL stint is retroactive to Saturday. Brown said he expects McCormick to return the first day he is eligible to come off the IL, April 25 in Tampa. To replace McCormick on the active roster, the Astros recalled infielder Rylan Bannon from Class AAA Sugar Land. In 12 games played for Sugar Land this season, Bannon is hitting 8-for-42 with seven RBIs and a .600 OPS. He has split his defensive playing time evenly between second and third base, though he spent the majority of his minor-league career across four organizations as a third baseman. In spring training with the Astros this year, he spent significant time playing second base in the aftermath of Jose Altuve’s injury.
“We'll call up Bannon because it gives us an option to put Dubón in center if we have to and we can put Bannon at second base,” Brown said on Tuesday. “Bannon can potentially provide us a little power. I mean, he's got some power, for sure. You know, he would be sort of the third decision at second base.
