Swats grand slam Saturday
Wade went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-3 victory versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Análisis
Wade struck out twice and was subbed out on defense in the seventh inning, but he made a big impact with one swing when he clubbed a grand slam to right field in the third inning. That was the veteran outfielder's second homer in nine games in the majors this season. Since returning from an IL stint caused by a hamstring injury July 4, Wade has started all five of Houston's games against right-handed pitching, so he appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in left field.

Idle against southpaw
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Análisis
Wade will join fellow left-handed hitters Braden Shewmake and Taylor Trammell on the bench while the Astros stock up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Nationals southpaw Foster Griffin. Zach Dezenzo will replace Wade in left field and will bat eighth.

Drawing third straight start
Wade will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Análisis
Wade will pick up a third straight start in left field, despite going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the final two games of the Astros' weekend series versus the Rays. After the Astros sent Joey Loperfido back to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Wade looks like he'll have an opportunity to solidify himself as a strong-side platoon player in the Houston outfield.
