The Houston Astros have placed outfielder Chas McCormick on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, effective retroactively from May 30. This decision comes as McCormick has struggled to make a significant impact this season, posting a .256/.347/.302 batting line over 53 plate appearances across 36 games. To fill the roster gap, infielder Shay Whitcomb has been called up from Triple-A Sugar Land, where he has demonstrated impressive power with 18 home runs in just 53 games and a .276/.357/.599 batting line.
