Workload picking up Tucker will start in center field and will bat leadoff Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact The switch-hitting Tucker will be spelling the lefty-hitting Jarrod Dyson in center field with southpaw Dallas Keuchel on the hill for Chicago, but the 24-year-old may not have to settle for a short-side platoon role much longer. Tucker is slashing .333/.364/.381 over his last eight games and is viewed as a bigger part of the 7-18 Pirates' future than the 36-year-old Dyson, who is playing on an expiring deal and who has struggled mightily this season (.375 OPS in 55 plate appearances).

Registers three hits Friday Tucker went 3-for-4 with two RBI in a 7-2 win over the Brewers on Friday.

Impact He's made 13 starts in the outfield in 2020 and has yet to play in the infield. If that trend continues, then that would likely lessen his fantasy value for 2021 in many leagues. With veteran center fielder Jarrod Dyson (who is on a one-year contract) struggling at the plate, there's a good chance Tucker will see expanded playing time over the last five weeks of play.

Swats first homer Tucker got the start in center field and hit leadoff Monday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in a 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact The 24-year-old led off the game with a homer, his first of the year, but his inexperience in the outfield showed. Tucker misplayed a Max Kepler line drive into a two-run double in the sixth inning. Tucker's hitting .211 (4-for-19) through seven games with a homer and a steal.

Sitting in Saturday's contest Dyson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Dyson went 0-for-3 in Friday's season opener, and he'll be on the bench Saturday. Guillermo Heredia will shift to center field in Dyson's absence, while Cole Tucker will start in right field and bat ninth.

JULY 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Set to patrol right field Tucker will make his debut in right field and bat ninth Saturday against the Cardinals.

Impact Guillermo Heredia, who started in right field Friday, will move to center field. The Pirates' first-round pick in 2014, Tucker hit three spring training homers. That improvement, combined with an altered swing path, has led the organization to believe he offers untapped offensive potential. Tucker slashed .211/.266/.311 (in 147 at-bats) in his debut for Pittsburgh last season.
