Cole Tucker Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ka'ai Tom (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left wrist contusion, the team announced on Twitter. In a corresponding move, the Pirates recalled infielder Cole Tucker from Triple-A Indianapolis. Tom was slashing .200/.364/.300 with a home run, one steal, seven RBI and three runs scored in 16 games since joining Pittsburgh. Tucker had a down year in 2020, slashing .220/.252/.275 over 37 games, and while he has been slightly better at the plate in Triple-A this year, he's still slashing just .214/.302/.339 in 14 games. Unless you're in a very deep, NL-only league, Tom and Tucker can both be left on the waiver-wire.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop/outfielder Cole Tucker (hand) is back to hitting after having appeared in just one Grapefruit League game this spring, in which he went 0-for-3. Competition remains relatively open for the rebuilding Pirates with Tucker in the mix to earn at-bats both at short or in center field, where Anthony Alford stands out as his main competitor. A first-round Draft choice by Pittsburgh back in 2014, Tucker has yet to have sustained success at the plate at the big league level, slashing .215/.260/.324 in 93 games. At this stage, Tucker -- assuming that he's healthy come Opening Day -- is a roll of the dice DFS play when hitting atop the lineup due to the multiple players that will likely be shuffled in and out of the Pirates' starting nine as the season carries on.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Cole Tucker (concussion) has been shut down for the remainder of the regular season. The 24-year-old was placed on the seven-day concussion list back on Sept. 17, but it seems he is not progressing as hoped. Tucker endured a disappointing 2020 season, slashing .220/.252/.275 with one homer and eight RBI through 109 at-bats. The former first-round pick will need to convince fantasy managers to take a chance on him in 2021 because the early returns have not been pretty.
