Astros' Chas McCormick: Out with sore back

McCormick (back) is not in the lineup Wednesday at Seattle.

McCormick was lifted from Tuesday's loss to the Mariners after taking an Andres Munoz fastball to the back in the top of the ninth inning, but he's said to be feeling better Wednesday and could be available off the bench. Mauricio Dubon will start in center field and bat seventh for the visiting Astros.
