Kyle Tucker - Page 61 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Tallies another multi-hit game Tucker went 2-for-3 with a double, run, two RBI and a stolen base in a 4-3 win against the Mariners on Monday.

Impact Tucker provided a sacrifice fly in the first inning, double in the third and RBI single followed by a swipe of second and a run in the eighth. The outfielder now has four multi-hit games out of five total since returning from the COVID IL and is a combined 9-for-20 with a double and triple in the span, while the theft was his 12th of the season -- that's only two swipes shy of his career total entering 2021.

Activated but not starting Tucker (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tucker has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Aug. 14, and the outfielder confirmed Tuesday that he tested positive for the virus, per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle. While he rejoins the active roster Tuesday, it's seems very possible that the outfielder is still not quite 100 percent, as he's out of the lineup against right-hander Brady Singer.

Evaluation on tap Tuesday Manager Dusty Baker said Tucker (COVID-19 injured list) will report to the ballpark Tuesday to be evaluated and determine whether he'll require a rehab assignment before being rein...

Impact Baker previously said he expected the outfielder to be activated from the COVID-19 IL midweek, and that should come to fruition if a rehab assignment isn't necessary. Tucker hasn't seen game action since Aug. 13 and hasn't been able to work out fully while away from the team, so it's not a guarantee he's immediately cleared to rejoin the big-league lineup.

Impact Beyond acknowledging that Tucker is feeling fine, Baker hasn't offered up many specifics regarding the outfielder's health since he was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Aug. 14. Baker's prediction of a mid-week return for Tucker perhaps hints that the 23-year-old will ramp up his on-field activities Monday and Tuesday before potentially drawing back into the Houston lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Royals. Tucker had posted a .917 OPS in 24 games since the All-Star break before being deactivated.

Not expected back this week Manager Dusty Baker said Sunday he doesn't expect Tucker (undisclosed) to rejoin the Astros this week, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tucker landed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday due to health and safety protocols, and it appears he'll be sidelined for at least a week. Jake Meyers will receive his second straight start in right field Sunday for the Astros with Tucker out.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out due to protocols Tucker was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday due to health and safety protocols, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact There haven't yet been reports that Tucker has tested positive for the virus himself, which leaves open the possibility that he could return within a few days. For now, Jake Meyers will get the start in right field Saturday against the Angels, with Yuli Gurriel (neck) returning from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Powers offense with grand slam Tucker went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 4-1 win over the Angels.

Impact The Astros were held scoreless in eight of the game's nine frames, but Tucker ensured that the team still gained a victory by crushing a grand slam to right field in the fourth inning. The long ball furthered what has been a breakout season for the 24-year-old, who is slashing .272/.334/.519 with 22 home runs, 71 RBI and 11 stolen bases overall. He is one of only 11 players leaguewide with at least 20 homers and at least 10 thefts.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Tucker isn't starting Wednesday against the Angels, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Tucker will be out of the lineup for the first time in over two months after he went 0-for-7 with a walk and four strikeouts across the last two games. Jake Meyers will start in right field and bat seventh.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in three-hit game Tucker went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

Impact Tucker hit three singles and was the only player to reach base safely three times in the game. He scored in the second and eighth innings, contributing to half of the team's runs. The 24-year-old has slowed down his production recently, with no runs or RBI in five of his last seven games. On the season, he is slashing .278/.339/.523 with 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 57 runs and 11 steals in 407 plate appearances.

Blasts two-run shot Wednesday Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Wednesday's loss against the Dodgers.

Impact Tucker took Kenley Jansen deep in the ninth inning for his 21st long ball of the campaign, but it wasn't enough to spark a late comeback for Houston. The slugging outfielder has hits in all but one of his last nine games, going deep thrice and slashing an impressive .324/.410/.676 during that nine-game span.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Blasts three-run homer Tucker went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 11-8 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Tucker did all his damage during the Astros' six-run first inning, taking Darren McCaughan deep with two runners on for his 19th long ball of the season. Four of those home runs have come in the last seven games, and perhaps even more impressively, Tucker has struck out just once during that stretch. Thanks in part to lowering his strikeout rate from 20.2 percent in 2020 to 16 percent in 2021, Tucker is currently holding down a career-best .273 batting average.

JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Third straight game with homer Tucker went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Just like teammate Jose Altuve, Tucker homered in his second straight game Wednesday with a solo shot off Eli Morgan in the fifth inning. He has four homers, seven RBI and seven runs so far in July. On the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .276/.331/.514 with 17 long balls, 54 RBI, 51 runs and nine steals over 347 plate appearances.

Impact After flying out his first time up, Tucker doubled in the fourth and then crushed a two-run blast during a six-run fifth inning for the Astros. He came up once again in the sixth and drove in his third run of the night. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start over the first few games of July but is slashing .368/.400/.737 with three homers, six RBI, six runs scored, four steals and a 2:9 BB:K over his last 11 games. Tuesday was his second three-hit game and fourth multi-hit effort overall this month. He's having another solid year overall, slashing .277/.332/.508 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 50 runs scored, nine steals and a 27:57 BB:K over 343 plate appearances.
