Chas McCormick of the Astros: Ready to swing again

Astros general manager Dana Brown said McCormick (hand) would swing the bat again Monday in hopes the outfielder could return from the 10-day injured list for the team's weekend series in Cleveland, MLB reports. com.

McCormick posted a poor .577 OPS in 267 plate appearances with Houston in 2024, but he had his best stretch of the season in his last eight games (10-for-24 with a home run and 1-2 BB:K). ), before landing on the IL on September 12th with a small fracture in his right hand. The 29-year-old is ready to hit the ground running after a short period of downtime, and if he's able to swing the bat at full speed and without discomfort, it looks like he could return to action before the regular season Astros roster return is coming to an end.
