Kyle Tucker News
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. This looks to be a routine day off for the 26-year-old outfielder as Chas McCormick is taking over in right field and Corey Julks is handling left field. Tucker should be back in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Halos.
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is absent from Sunday's starting lineup, according to MLB.com. The 26-year-old is again a top contributor in fantasy baseball, running a .276 average with seven bombs, 19 runs, 33 RBI, and seven seals over 51 games. Corey Julks will play in the outfield instead and bat sixth. The former eighth-round selection has been a surprising source of production, slashing .269/.284/.385 with three home runs, 16 runs, 16 RBI, and six stolen bases over 36 games. Julks can be a decent streaming option, especially against Luis Medina, who owns a 6.45 ERA.
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Tucker was on the original lineup card, batting fifth, but the Astros have now removed him three hours before the first pitch. It's not yet known why he was scratched but the team should provide some sort of update later today. Corey Julks is now starting in left field and batting seventh against the A's while Chas McCormick shifts over to right field to cover Tucker.

Tucker made it back-to-back 30 homer seasons in 2022 and although his batting average dropped from .294 in 2021 to .257 in 2022, he also stole 25 bases leaving him as the only member of the 30/20 last year. Tucker hit .228/.279/.456 against left-handed pitching (.275/.359/.491 against right-handed pitching) so with the restrictions on defensive shifts in 2023, it's fair to believe we will see improvements in his batting average moving forward and hitting north of .260 is more than reasonable. Tucker spent most of the season in the middle of the Astros lineup with 82 games coming from the number five spot in the order and that helped him to tally 71 runs and 107 RBI. The addition of Jose Abreu to the lineup should only help Tucker put up the counting stats and he is on the verge of being a true five-category contributor in fantasy. With an ADP inside the first ten picks, it's safe to assume you'll need to use a mid-first-round pick to draft Tucker and he's certainly capable of providing first round value.
